8400M GS : Low performences - Page 3

I also have this problem. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with the nVidia driver 100.14.19.
I haven't tried the beta driver yet, though it sounds as if it really doesn't matter which one you use. Same results either way. I am very interested in getting this working properly.
I really don't want to go back to XP. Not nearly as fun to develop in.

Don't waste your time, I use the beta driver and I still have this problem.
This lack of information from Nvidia is getting annoying.

*bump*

Nvidia! any word on this issue?

theophane · 11-12-07, 05:43 AM

By the way, I get 100% CPU usage (Dual Core T7300 2.0 Ghz) when using any 3D effect, and I doubt this is normal.
And my effects are still lagging...

PLEASE NVIDIA TECHIES SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

Just thought I would add this:

Just tried Kooldock under KDE, which doesn't rely on any GTK or Compiz libraries that I know of. The problem shows up here too in the EXACT same way..

This means that it IS an NVIDIA-problem and as such, I wonder when we will get at least a reply?

have you tried the latest beta driver? 169.04?

Trying it now, same thing. I have also tried the 100.14.23 with no luck. What's the difference between the two anyway?

theophane · 12-07-07, 04:51 AM

Anyone got this solved ?

taqti · 12-07-07, 08:19 AM

Nope, nothing. Using the 169.04 with the same results.

Personally, what's bugging me the most, is that we wont even get a comment from NVIDIA. Totally ignoring their customers, is that really a good image to put out?

As far as I can see they don't reply to "problematic" posts at all - especially for posts where people complain about low performance.

I guess they already know about, but maybe its hardware related so ... who knows :-/

I've installed the latest 169.07 drivers but they fix nothing at all.

I still have my effects laggy for 4 seconds before they get fluid and when I don't use them for awhile, the same thing happens again.
It's been 4 months now I'm facing this issue and it is ANNOYING. This makes Compiz unusable...

Moreover, there is something I do not understand. This issue seems to happen not on all 8400M GS cards...

Once again I'm attaching a bug report, if that helps.

Please Nvidia guys, make a statement about this.

I have the same issue. The issue is described here http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=99554

Try running in a terminal :
# while true; do nvidia-settings -q all > /dev/null; sleep 25; done

It fixed the problem for me. I've put it as a task in Gnome Sessions so that it runs when Gnome starts.
