Works fine here. KDE4.4+Compiz with a pair of GTX 295's. Can't tell any difference between new and old.

I see there are some discussions going on the nvidia, KDE and arch forums about the performance of KDE 4.4 and latest nvidia driver, no results yet as I can see. My current setup with 190.53 works fast and snappy (no special xorg param); but updating to anything later drops performance by a factor, so I resisted upgrading nvidia. Now with the latest kernel update I cannot keep the 190.53 driver. Anyone have a solution for performance tweaking the latest KDE and nvidia combo? (I dont want to get too out of sync with the updates).

New install kde 4.4 and latest nvidia driver w/nvidia 8600 card. I can definitely tell that performance has tanked. Compiz cube is much more sluggish than it ever has been. I haven't had time to dive into it, but you're not dreaming if you think it is slower. I haven't tried on the box with 8800 in it yet, but I expect similar results. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
