bad general performance with 8x.xx driver series

[DrLabel]

Same problem low performance with 8x.xx drivers
Using legacy drivers in Ubuntu until problem solve
Is impossible to run WOW whit 8x.xx 17-20fps
Whit Legacy drivers 20-80 fps but the game stops a lot loading new textures

@drlabel we have exact the same problem in world of warcraft i get 10-30fps with 7xxx series i get 50-80fps
but the nvidia crew isnt reading the thread
you could post a nvidia bug report a dmesg and an xorg log

Who can i do that i'm a nOOb in Linux (but i love it) :P
one more thing how can i install 7676 driver version in ubuntu 6.06

Tks for your time

I am quite sure nvidia developers are reading, they just don't reply ... because they need to be _very_ carefully with statements about poor performance or driver quality. So instead of posting something they simply don't answer.

I'm using a old crappy barton 2500+, 1gb ram and a fx5600ultra.

Latest driver gives me about ~20fps in World Of Warcraft, and fps hack in War§oW..

If you want to know any specific versions of anything, just ask here.

well i installed the nvidia-legacy driver and now i have again 50-85fps

it really seems the 8xxx series has a problem with my system / video card?

if you don't mind me asking, how did you go about rolling your drivers back?

Yeah, this really helped a newbie.
It's a bash-script with no readme or howto.

Of what I've seen that script only downloads the latest driver. And that I can do with Synaptic.

If you didn't read my post I can tell you that the performance in last graphic driver has dropped with 80% for me. I had steady 90fps in War§oW before updating. Now it isn't even playable.

About World of Warcraft I have 0-10fps at 1280x1024 (all graphics on low, no AF). Before I had 45-80fps depending on where in the world I where and how many players/npcs there was around me.

Did you read the page ?????
did you try to use :
http://www.albertomilone.eu/ubuntu/n...s/envy_7182_32
this script install 7182 drivers
you have to do this:
save the script to a file.
open terminal
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
login
run the script (sudo sh scriptname)
just awnser the questions and that's it
