huntermix: The hz isn't actually related to the speed of your card at all (it's just the refresh rate of your screen). Further the "incorrect" reporting of it is Bug #92599 (also see the troubleshooting section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ).
The first question is what is the output of dpkg -l \*nvidia\* | grep ii dpkg -l \*xgl\* | grep ii ? There is not really enough information in this bug to diagnose the problem at this stage. Please can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file along with the dmesg.txt file produced by running dmesg > dmesg.txt while X is running slowly? ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- Slow framerate with latest nvidia drivers using Gutsy and XFX 8600gt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138347 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
