nVidia 8000/9000 Series Performance Issues
This topic discusses the poor 2D performance of 8000 and 9000 series nVidia cards on Linux due to low quality drivers. If you are experiencing any performance issue whatsoever and you have an 8000/9000 series nVidia card, please post on this thread. Also, please post if you own one of these cards and you DO have good 2D performance. In either case, please be sure to state the exact model of the card (including the vendor: bfg, evga, etc...), your driver version and any other relevant information.

..............

The problem:
* Horrible 2D performance in Linux with the nVidia drivers. 169, 173 and 177 drivers are all faulty.
* Firefox scrolling/switching tabs performance is horrible.
* Resizing windows/moving windows/scrolling in windows is slow/laggy.
* KDE4 is almost unusably slow.
* Xrender performance is horrible.
* Compiz Fusion very choppy, laggy minimize/maximize.
* KDE4/QT4 apps especially are very laggy and unresponsive. Example: button press, dragging/resizing windows, combo boxes, menus are all slow.

.................

Notes:
* Just a few days ago, my friend needed help deciding between an nVidia and an ATI card. If this was last year or two years ago, I would have recommended an nVidia. However, times have changed. I told him to go grab an ATI and don't think again. I helped him install it and the performance was amazing all round. 2D/3D Linux/Windows, everything. If I had known of this problem earlier, I would have got myself an ATI.

看了这贴狂汗... 这些问题我几乎都有... 原来以为是 kde4 的优化问题... 结果是NVIDIA的驱动问题！

刚看了新闻,正在跟nvidia协商解决的嘛, KDE4.1 RC1 好消息

同汗，我也一直以为是KDE的问题，竟然是NVIDIA的驱动问题。
