Hi all,
I believe that the duplicate status is INCORRECT as I have what seems to be EXACTLY this issue, and I tried the workaround provided for bug #92599 and it DID NOT WORK. (Caps for emphasis & clarity, not for anger, sorry if this bothers you, I don't post often, let me know)

My issue is that my graphics are choppy IMMEDIATELY once user session starts, it doesn't degrade over time. Dropping back to metacity fixes it. With compiz, running glxgears gives CLI readout of 20K+ FPS but effectively I only see 1 frame every few seconds. Same issue with some other OpenGL games, display is really choppy on the game window, but the FPS readout for the game is 10s of thousands of FPS. With metacity, get smooth display and readout of 10K+ FPS

I have tried disabling the DynamicTwinView option, and nvidia-settings has confirmed that it now cannot control the screen resolutions etc as the option is disabled, but I still have EXACTLY the same choppiness with compiz and glxgears.

Thanks for your time! Let me know if you need something from me (as I said I don't post often so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put).
