slow perfomance in open gl games with nvidia driver 8600M
I have an old dell laptop a 1720 with a nvidia 8600M card on it. general it works great and i have played many older graphics intensive games on it. I just installed Ubuntu 18.10 and am trying to get some games to work like nexiuz but it performs very badly. i did move over to the proprietary nvida driver but its still lagging badly. any advice? Is there something else I should do to get good performance out of ubuntu?

You could switch to a lighter alternative like Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu, and old machine will thank you for that. Also, adjust your expectations. The hardware is 12 years old, and won't get any newer. Overheating might cause performance degradation. Make sure the fans and vents are clean.
