Graphics Performance

What options can I set for the configuration section of my graphics card if I want to improve it's performance?  This is my current configuration in my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "Intel Corporation"
    BoardName      "82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller"
    Option         "Coolbits" "1"
EndSection

Re: Graphics Performance

Use nvidia-settings from the command line or NVIDIA X Server Settings from the menu to generate a xorg.conf file. You don't need to have it overwrite your current one; It will let you put it wherever you want. It should pick the optimal settings for your card.

Re: Graphics Performance

I may have jumped a little ahead of myself. It may be necessary to have nvidia-xconfig create the original xorg.conf, then edit through the other.

Re: Graphics Performance

Any idea on how to modify the "Max Frames to Render Ahead" option?

I think that for difference of Windows here By default max frames rendered ahead = 0 which means no hardware lag (like in Windows)
