If you're using nVidia or ATI/AMD proprietary drivers, you do not have to turn off 'sync to vblank' or anything of the sort. It won't fix the issue.
What will, however, in my experience is exporting the "CLUTTER_VBLANK=none" environment variable to your .profile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064095 Title: Gnome Shell 3.6 performance much worse then 3.4.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1064095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
