Re: Sucessefull switch - Vostro 3300

 

Yes, certainly the nouveau dirver for newer cards on X composite sucks
(for now, I'm sure that there are people working on it),
but without composite the glx rendering is really enhanced.
In my case (chipset NVa8) without composite using nouveau I get around
1100 FPS (tested by glxgears),
whereas using intel I get roughly 60 FPS....
Whit X composite enabled I get more o less the same performance on
intel or nvidia (around 60 to 100 FPS)
