Description Karl 2017-07-05 23:45:21 UTC
1. Thanks for good work with OS. Install is a dream. Also, first linux system where I installed steam by only choosing it and did nothing. This is really good work. 
2. The problem: When running Steam, and playing game, Insurgency, the fps starts good, but after a short time it drops to unplayable. Between 10-15 fps. The graphics else looks superb. Never seen better on any linux distro i tried. But this fps problem i would really like to find out of. 
3. Unfortunately, i am a totally novise, dont even know how to file a bug report..So if i can provide you with anything helpful, i think a written description(like a usermanual) is the only way i can do it. Sorry for that.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 (rev 1.0xx)
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 975 Black Edition
RAM: 4x4 Kingston KHX 1333 DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 560
Monitor: Benq G2420HD
Power: CoolMaster 650W

and yes, i know it is not far from the 'stone age' area.. but hardware is ok.

Does it also happen if KWin compositing is disabled? Please use Alt+Shift+F12 to toggle compositing mode.
