For Nvidia users the ONLY way to get a responsible experience in 3D apps games is to enable
composite -> "unredirect fullscreen windows" it fixes ALL performance issues - regardless of the ' Sync To Vblank' setting ... It's the same speed as kde (with /without desktop effects), xfce, lxde, etc If you are getting a slow speed (and have Nvidia) Out the box as well as the speed of fps being 1/2 of what it should I was getting weird graphic (lagging) issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1012401 Enabling "unredirect fullscreen windows" in compiz settings fixes everything - the speed, the issues, it is the ONLY way I have seen unity3D to be usable.... However one word of warning - enabling that option can make Unity3D not start when you re-login... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/980663 At present I would advise all Nvidia users to avoid Unity3D / Compiz if you ever want to play a 3d game... Unity/Compiz needs to be fixed for Nvidia user asap (I really fear the bugs will give Linux a bad name for gaming..) Kde,lxde,xfce,cinammon - none of these DE's have these issues btw... Kde has 'suspend desktop effects on fullscreen apps' and gnome 3 seems to automatically do the same... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988079 Title: Much slower OpenGL frame rates with unityshell loaded, than plain compiz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/988079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
