Compiz works for me: (Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint [x])
Ubuntu 14.04 fully updated
Quadro K420/PCIe/SSE2

Needed to switch from Nouveau (to edgers Nvidia 340.58) to resolved DisplayPort not handling screen saver / blanking, and poor performance (or X server crash) with DVI (Dual Link).

I have just upgraded to a Samsung 27" with 2560 x 1440 resolution. The K420 video card was also required, as earlier cards (NSA 310, NVS 315) could not keep up with higher resolution. Tearing and remnants on full screen video or larger scaling of some applications.
