Allright. I have tested with 12.10 a little. The problem is still there but the games run ways better than in 12.04. With "redirect fullcreen windows" fullscreen games run with no stuttering at all. Without this option there is still stuttering but it's as I said much better, same for games which d

Off what Mr. Spilsbury said, I tried setting the nVidia drivers to "prefer maximum performance" and the desktop is 100% silky smooth. When left on the default of adaptive the sluggishness returns.

Games are running *GREAT* at the moment. It's only desktop effects that are the problem. I'm going to keep using 12.10 now since games run even better than on Unity2D in 12.04, but the sluggish desktop effects continue to persist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Hi James, Note that the smoothness here comes from the fact that your GPU is probably upclocking on some of the more intense effects, this will lead to a visible framerate boost. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https:/

An odd observation, performance on some minor effects, like window expansion in the alt-tab switcher (where it blows up the icon into the animated window preview) runs very smoothly all the time. Window expo will sometimes be smooth and other time run very poorly; the same applies to the workspace

I have played a little with the settings again and I found the cause. You can get stuttering with activated Vsync in Compiz or with "Force fullscreen redraws on repaint". It's a dilemma.

By the way, when running compiz you should ignore the frame rates reported by applications because they're not real. Compiz is a compositor which kind of means it virtualizes rendering.
