This should be fully fixed per bug 901097. So fixed in Ubuntu 12.10 and later. Preferably 13.04. The fix was a major one for Compiz so it probably won't be backported to 12.04.
Using 13.04 you might notice some tearing on fullscreen apps. This is to be expected as we have boosted performance for fullscreen apps by disabling Compiz for most of them. This means it's up to the app to do it's own vsync. Or you can force Compiz to retain control of fullscreen windows (and hence avoid tearing) by configuring: CCSM > Composite > Unredirect Match -- 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/1018105 Title: Tearing in Unity with Nvidia GTX670 (vsync failure) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1018105/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
