Hi, I hope this is the right bug report to comment on :) For me several games still run really slowy in Unity, but run okay in Unity 2D or on a seperate X-server. Recent examples are Dustforce, Oil Rush and Jamestown. For example Oil Rush with ultra/high has 53 fps in the main window on a seper

This bug should have a high priority. With Valve wanting to put their chips into Ubuntu, Unity out of the box needs to be able to keep up with the others. Looking at these benchmarks: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1210beta_desktops&num=1 This IS NOT the case. When runni

That fix is not in any PPA and won't be for a while. First I found a theoretical problem with it, then I found it causes real regressions (occasional minor damage artefacts). So I removed it not long after it was committed. More work is required before users can or should test that change. -- You

Another idea: This could be the known problem with glFinish (in the default rendering path) slowing down rendering. glFinish was introduced to eliminate tearing.
