I have a PC: - Motherboard: intel DP67DE - Geforce GT 520.

I install Ubuntu 12.10, using the same drivers proprietors windows are slow. This only happens in Ubuntu. How to solve?

Try running this in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Then reboot.


EDIT: Okay, let's try using the X11 open-source drivers instead:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

Then reboot.
