I'm using nvidia. I meant to include that in the first post but forgot. Age. :/ [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-396.54 I can't recall the exact FPS before with old card but I'm thinking it is somewhere close what I'm getting here. Plus the CPU usage makes me wonder. While I don't do gaming, I still want the video card to do its job. After all, that's what it is there for. When I'm doing updates in the background, that takes away from that if Smplayer/mplayer are using a lot of CPU power. At least it isn't just me that thinks the card isn't getting the load it should.
