Under the new 195.x series of the nVidia drivers, performance in some openGL applications has dropped significantly. Specifically, in Second Life, I am getting 15fps or less on a GeForce 9800 GT with factory overclocking, and it previously had been getting at least 50 to 60 fps when running Second Life maximized on a monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050. For now, I'm reverting to the 190.x series drivers.
This task depends upon

Nothing we can do here; report to nvidia instead.

No problem here at all with GTS250 and the latest nvidia drivers. Haven't tried that game, but I tried Heroes of newerth, google earth, COD4 through wine and world of padman.
