[07:10] <ducasse> morning all
[09:04] <webchat42> hello guys I am xavier since a moment my ubuntu is not working I don't know why.
[09:08] <tomreyn> hi webchat42
[09:08] <tomreyn> if you're looking for support with ubuntu , please ask in #ubuntu

[17:52] <ice9> I'm getting higher FPS with the nouveau driver than the prop nvidia driver, how come?
[18:15] <daftykins> lol, i bet the proprietary didn't load properly
[18:20] <ice9> daftykins, I re-installed it, rebooted etc ..
[18:23] <daftykins> that's not a guarantee
[19:16] <leftyfb> ice9: maybe ask for support in #ubuntu 
[21:45] <JanC> I likely explanation is that games might use less detail when certain features aren't available, and thus get higher framerates...
[21:45] <JanC> or maybe nouveau is just faster on some (older?) hardware for some use cases...
[21:46] <JanC> it's not like the nouveau driver is really bad
[21:46] <daftykins> that's a very good point, i foolishly assumed feature parity! :D
[21:47] <daftykins> user's gone though
[21:48] <JanC> the nvidia drivers tend to be optimised for the most recent hardware also
[21:48] <JanC> and most recent hardware features
[21:50] <daftykins> seen plenty of pieces that disprove it makes as much of a difference as many claim 
[21:51] <JanC> you mean nvidia vs. nouveau?
[21:52] <daftykins> nah having an old card and then keeping up with drivers, say
[21:53] <JanC> well, nvidia tends to drop support for older hardware pretty quickly
[21:53] <JanC> (compared to some other companies, at least)
[21:54] <JanC> which is why Ubuntu something like ~15 driver versions packaged
[21:54] <JanC> for nvidia
[21:55] <daftykins> i don't think i've felt disadvantaged by whatever the pace may be
[21:55] <JanC> well, the older driver versions are still around, just not officially supported, I think
