I still have real performance problems with this gfx card on 12.04... I guess that we have passed the eol on it with unity/complz combo. Today I get a replacement computer with another NVIDIA Card.. And it will be interesting to see what happens then

Duplicate bug #737454 suggests it may be an issue specific to the NVIDIA 8xxx series cards with large resolution sizes. [Workarounds] The issue can be reliably worked around by either disabling one of the displays, or disabling the Unity Plugin in CompizConfig Settings Manager The nouveau driver on the same hardware typically does not have the performance issue (but may have other issues such as stability, rendering it not a valid workaround). Some have reported that upgrading to -nvidia 290.03 solves the problem; others report it has no effect. See http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2493300 Some have reported that lowering the external monitor resolution to match the laptop LVDS resolution brings performance to acceptable levels.
