This bug should have a high priority. With Valve wanting to put their chips into Ubuntu, Unity out of the box needs to be able to keep up with the others. Looking at these benchmarks: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1210beta_desktops&num=1
This IS NOT the case. When running fullscreen opengl applications, there needs to be a way to disable desktop effects or something that will get the framerate to where it should be. Otherwise I could definitely see new users thinking, "I'll give Linux a try." use Ubuntu, have a terrible gaming experience (Due to low frames) and either go back to Windows, or buy an Apple PC. I know I sound a bit crazy, but Linux's big chance is coming up, and we have to be ready if we want this to take off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996343 Title: Game performance is choppier with compiz enabled (not unity) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/996343/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
