Yes, unity 5.12-ubuntu1.1 helps. But the Unity performance is still unedifying.
Ubuntu (3D): # Moving windows is and fading effects are still very jerky. # glxgears runs at 30 fps # glxgears -fullscreen crawls most of the time at 5 fps but sometimes jumps up to 18 fps. Ubuntu 2D: # Moving windows feels like it was before in 10.04. The window moves together with the pointer, no more drag but not smooth. # glxgears runs at 60 fps and seems to be limited by the screen refresh rate. Good! # glxgears -fullscreen still crawls along with 4.7 fps. I know that glxgears is not a proper benchmark but it is an application with simple 3D graphics and should run smoothly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931122 Title: 3D performance is very bad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/931122/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
