Sony Z and slow nvidia card

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem and I wonder if its happening with anyone else. When I am working in speed more for a while, when I try drag around windows i get this really annoying lag.

The window will kind of sputter as I drag it... but if i do it a few times then the dragging gets smooth again. Its as if the nvidia chip needs to wake up and run fast or something. It feels like garbage

but I dont get this ins stamina mode

 

If you want, you can try disable nVidia Powermiser. Your computer will feel snappier to you but in return your laptop will run hotter in Speed Mode.

That sounds like it could be the solution i need.... but i dont see powermizer settings in my nvidia panel however... any clues to how to check if its on? The help says its in "Mobile" but that doesnt even exist in my panel.

 

oh wait -- I see the link you posted. Let me try ^^

 

Yeah.. I'm too lazy to do hyperlinks properly.

 

Ok i did it -- definately seems to be running hotter -- the fan is on. let's see if it can drag windows effectively now ;; Its a shame i need 500mhz on my gpu just to move a window. Whats up nvidia?

 

It's not the speed. It's the change from low to high speed that will make it jerk.

edit: not the same for you.. I just read your first post again. :|

 

I think your suggestion worked. You totally saved me dude. I was going to format this thing. Wow -- powermiser is complete garbage. In Win7 you get that nice effect when Windows open -- that fading in, which was looking like garbage.

I wonder if we can set powermiser to work, but have a slightly higher mhz range when set to "low" ?

 

mmm, can't help you there. I have all animations disabled.
