Issues in Nvidia GTX 750 driver
Rynaro Dec 29, 2015
Recently I've got a GTX 750 (Superclocked) VGA, and I think to use only Linux distro by now. Previously I needed create a dual boot, because, my Radeon HD 6670 cannot supports my actual 1080p screen, and performance in Linux is really poor for gaming.

I've no experience in Nvidia graphics driver setup, its my first non-AMD VGA. The Radeon-way to install in Linux is really cool, and works in first time (Unluckly, my previous VGA don't support my current screen size). With Nvidia, now, I have a lot of problems (I think, its my fault in most of cases).

I've read a lot of "tutorials" in internet, but, my GTX 750 don't works fine. Many times, my browser crashes (with flash), the FF can't get the VGA acceleration (only Chrome gets), my Steam sometimes shows alert of "low memory". Wine apps, and Steam downloads "stops" when I use browser, has no reason (for me, obviously).

I've tried to install drivers manually, via official (Ubuntu repos) and Xorg edgers.

I'm a Radeon user by now, and switching to Nvidia universe. If anyone can help me in this adventure, I'm so much thankful.

Thanks

very strange issues. i dont use firefox though so cant speak about this, mainly using opera and vivaldi.
low memory alert seems weird also, is that low GPU memory alert? is that GPU 2GB? are you running games on the settings that can deal with it? some games might require more gpu memory on ultra settings, specialy texture quality setting.

maybe you have some old amd gpu stuff somewhere? in xorg.conf? and its causing some memory leaks or something. not enough information sadly, you should run those apps in terminal and post the outputs to pastebin and link here when they have those troubles

I've cleaned my disk, and installed Ubuntu cleanly. I antecipated this issue of Radeon persistance configuration, then I prefered to clean all disk and make all from the zero.

This weekend I will make some tests and collect a lot of data for "debugging". If I can get a point of equilibrium with my GTX 750, I should post the fix here.

Thanks. ^_^
