Hi Eloy,

Thanks for the info. I'm currently working on a more permanent fix in Compiz in which I will "blacklist" known GPU's that are affected by this.

There shouldn't be any performance penalty when running with X11 Sync turned off. What that is supposed to do is keep the GPU's rendering in Sync w/ X11. Many folks over time have been affected by issues where the rendering is done out of sync resulting in weird artifacts on the screen such as black borders and such. See bug #269904 if you want more details.
