Nvidia guru's help! Just kidding with the Exclamation point I was wondering if I can get just a little better Graphics performance out of this old Vista pc with Kubuntu on it. Don't get me wrong it's not all that bad considering, but there is a little "screen tearing" for lack of better term. I did a little research and explored a little in the Nvidia Software but don't want to crash anything and make more work for myself on this one.
The thing I'm looking at now is "PowerMizer" which seems to me -as a noob to graphics stuff - the only easy tweak. It is also said to cause more work for the GPU, and Fan. I feel like I just need a little better edge without adding a better card. This pc is not well supported either, no BIOS Update and no drivers on the official HP Page. I will up the "PowerMizer" for now to see what happens, any other info would be great!
