I have an Nvidia GEForce 7200 video card in my computer. Ever since I upgraded from openSUSE 11.x to 12.x, I have noticed a severe performance hit. Indications in this group were that it might be a video driver issue. I tried both the Nvidia and Nouveau drivers, but they didn't make much difference. I just added the Nvidia repository and went with their drivers (I had used that repository with 11.x and earlier). What an incredible increase in performance!!! I can't believe it's the same computer. Even even speedtest.net shows a considerable improvement, going from about 2 - 5 Mb/s download to 31! (other, newer computers get about 35). It's absolutely amazing what proper video drivers can do. Perhaps whoever's responsible for the drivers included with the distro should take a 2nd look at their work. They absolutely kill performance, compared to the ones from the Nvidia repository. The performance was often so bad that I was thinking about buying a new computer. Now I won't have to. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
