Hi,
I understand that there is a slow response with NVIDIA GPU Based systems esp Ubuntu and other Linux distros.this is highly observed in 8xxx and 9xxx series?
you may try latest 177.13 beta driver.It is better

else a workaround shown on nvnet and ubuntu forums is to add
on your /etc/X11/xorg.conf section "driver" .
I read that this may not work with 3D compiz/beryl or aiglx/xgl.

also consider reading this thread:

Now I think Intel,AMD/ATi got lesser problems than the nvidia systems obviously.
How to install nvidia driver setup we download from nvidia ftp?
irrelevant of which distro ,u need to have gcc,libc6-dev,make,linux-headers or linux-(kernel name)-devel etc installed.for Debian based distros like Ubuntu ,you can apt-get install build-essential which essentially bundles all of this.
next ,check the gcc version of which your linux kernel is compiled.
use
for the info.
if it is compiled with gcc-4.3 , you have to make sure the symlink /usr/bing/gcc points towards gcc-4.3. or use env variable CC=gcc-4.3 in this example.
now 'chmod+x NVIDIA--.sh ' and as sudo or su ,start with "./NVIDIA--.sh" .Hopefully it will build the module fine. next "rmmode nvidia && modprobe nvidia" module.
with Debian distros ,make use of module-assistant which can make the nvidia module easily.
Hope this helps
