Hi,
Nvidia just released 352.79 driver. Did anybody tried it on their laptops? How is the performance of this driver? Does it fixed bad vertical scrolling issue?

Regards,

Yes.

It seems to me the performance etc depends on what nvidia card you have and your kernel/xorg version. Newer drivers don't so much increase performance in general as give better support for newer cards.

Need more info. Copy/paste to terminal

sudo lshw -C video

and

inxi -Fxz

and copy/paste results here.
