NVIDIA fixes?
by Sebastian on Thursday 03/Apr/2008, @04:11

I read your post and decided to install 4.0.3

Surprising result when measuring frame rate on 8400GT using glxgears:

kde 4.0.2: 8300 frames in 5.0 seconds
kde 4.0.3: 4617 frames in 5.0 seconds

half the performance.

I have to file a bug report on that...

No, even less. The first reduction appeared after installing 4.0.3, killing kwin4.0.2 and starting kwin 4.0.3.

After restarting the session I am at 1500 frames per 5.0 seconds...

wow! this is as fast as my old ATI wothout 3d support! May somebody explain this? Shall I see this as a sign (I will exeggerate) that kwin is making the gpu busy or is it a good sign (in terms that kwin now uses the gpu at all)?
