I'm not the right person to advise on this problem because I have very limited |
| 70 |
experience with Nvidia cards and even less with WINE. Nevertheless, the |
| 71 |
(generic) way I would go about it would be to try an HDMI cable first in case |
| 72 |
the higher bitrate makes any difference in what the kernel/driver sees and can |
| 73 |
drive. If there is no improvement, then I would look into feeding a custom |
| 74 |
EDID file for the new monitor to the kernel and see if WINE performance |
| 75 |
improves. Have a look at 'xrandr --prop' to see what the new Vs the old |
| 76 |
monitor display and read this for more: |
