New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

I just upgraded to 185.19, and 2D really speeds up!

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1976912 wrote:

Release Highlights:

    * Added support for the following new GPUs:
          o Quadro FX 3800
          o Quadro FX 1800
          o Quadro FX 380
          o Quadro FX 580
          o GeForce GTS 250
          o GeForce GT 140
          o GeForce GT 130
          o GeForce 9600 GSO 512
    * Fixed SDI presentation time queries returning unexpected values.
    * Removed the 'AllowDFPStereo' X config file option, which is now enabled by default.
    * Fixed a bug that caused certain programs to hang when multiple threads call functions in libdl at the same time.
    * Fixed a driver crash when OpenGL applications use an extremely large number of textures.
    * Text rendering to PseudoColor windows with the glyph cache enabled no longer causes GPU errors.
    * The X driver now allows pixmaps smaller than 32x32 pixels to be placed in video memory.
    * Fix a problem that prevented the driver from retraining a DisplayPort link after a device is hotplugged.
    * nvidia-bug-report.sh now automatically gzips the resulting log file.
    * Fix VDPAU to eliminate some cases of GPU hangs when decoding H.264 video on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs, and supplying a DPB missing some reference frames.
    * The VDPAU presentation queue now syncs to VBLANK in the blit path. The environment variable VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE selects which display to sync to when TwinView is enabled; see the README for details.
    * On systems using integrated graphics, VDPAU now uses system RAM instead of video RAM for many purposes. This should prevent "out of resources" problems in most cases, even when the video RAM carve-out is configured as low as 128M.
    * Added support for Quad-Buffered Stereo in the main plane simultaneously with the Color Index Overlay; i.e., both Stereo GLX FBConfigs and Color Index Overlay FBConfigs can be advertised and used at the same time, though no single GLX FBConfig contains both Stereo and Overlay capabilities.

What's interesting here from a 2D perspective is the support for smaller than 32x32 pixmaps. This really speeds things up on my system (8600M GT), Firefox is faster (not using beta), as is moving around windows (for example gnome-terminal with pseudo-transparency).

Highly recommended!

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

Thanks for the heads up, it feels dramatically faster.

Kind of amazed that they didn't hold <32x32 pixmaps before. So many applications have user interface pixmaps under that size, like the minimize/maximize/close buttons of a window decoration, all the little icons on a panel, most app toolbars (including firefox), etc...

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

And with this release, nvidia FINALLY fixes the horrible >4GB of ram on X86_64 bug on all of their release lines.  It's about bloody time.

Cthulhu For President!

much, much faster with my 8800 GT.

openbox, conky and my wallpaper loaded up in about half a second flat, almost feels like using a solid-state drive.

Wow, I might just have to install.
Doing it now.

Edit: Hopefully, fb will be fixed on my computer. Btw, I have a 8800gt Alpha Dog card.

uvesafb doesn't support my res. vesafb, doesn't work i think. And yes I mean framebuffer. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=62079

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

Yeah the 185.19 is faster than previous drivers but
I get the dreadful and infamous screen corruption & hang
with this and the 180.44 driver (the problems for others started
with 180.* set)

More info at nvnews.net's forums:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123912

P.S. I haven't had the energy to try older drivers yet >.<

Wow, these new drivers do clean up the GUI experience A LOT.

Also, I just found out about yaourt,,,its awesome as well.  smile

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

cant test them, because any nvidia driver > 180.29 causes several kde4 components to use 100% cpu..
any idea whats going wrong here ?

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

It seems that NVidia drivers are sometimes broken for some specific cards... 177.82 were fine in my case, but I've got troubles on 180.18 and 180.22, so I skipped 180.25, went for 180.27 which were ok...
But I must admit that 185.19 is fast, fast, fast, fast!!!

Some applications are WYSIWYG, and some are WYSIWTF.

It seems that NVidia drivers are sometimes broken for some specific cards... 177.82 were fine in my case, but I've got troubles on 180.18 and 180.22, so I skipped 180.25, went for 180.27 which were ok...

Which card? Because I have a 7300LE, and I was sticking with 180.16, since 180.18, 180.22 and 180.44 give me constant freezes. So does 185.19.

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

I have the problem that PowerMizer won't work properly with the new driver.

I enabled fixed performance on battery (lowest level = 0x3) and adaptive strategy on ac, but when running on battery the driver boosts to performance level 2...

Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2233; PowerMizerDefault=0x3"

I followed this tutorial http://tutanhamon.com.ua/technovodstvo/ … IX-driver/

can anyone confirm the same experience?

New driver not working with new kernel?

I had issues with 185.19 building against 2.6.30-rc1 too if that's what you're talking about.

Yup, 185.13/19 and 180.44 have the same failure when building against 2.6.30-rc1...

This was explained so many times, that I don't any point to do this again. Anyway, this is very simple fix and nvidia will build.

Re: New NVIDIA beta 185.19 speeds up 2D operations

Desktop is surely flying now, however something odd happened to ut2004 sad It shows even slight performance progress in theory(like 180 instead of 150fps), however mouse has 0.5 sec lags every few seconds, and general gaming experience is definetly worse. I hope it will get fixed when it goes out of beta.:rolleyes:

It won't get fixed unless you provide a bug report on the NVIDIA forums.

I had the same problem with few 177.xx versions, first releases of 180.xx, and last one - that's why i switched to beta.

However I'd post that on NVIDIA, thx for good idea.
