This seems fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity 7.2.1). I'm running a full-HD and quad-HD monitor from an ASUS Z97 Pro motherboard with an Intel core i5-4430 CPU. I'm using an nVidia GeForce 660TI GPU with the proprietary 337.25 beta driver. Everything is awesomely smooth and responsive.
The only time things become jerky and stuttery again is when I open a video in Ubuntu's default video player (Totem?). If I use VLC, however, things remain ultra smooth and responsive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007857 Title: window animations are far from smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1007857/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
