This is just a warning, I'm not convinced anyone else will have this problem.

I run Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest kernel (2.6.24-19 as of this post). I just manually updated to the latest Nvidia drivers (173.14.09 as of this post) and noticed something interesting:

After installing the new Nvidia drivers, I loaded the Killa Sampla and noticed that if I have the OSD up (osd that shows how many frames are dropped, bitrate, etc) the clip will drop frames. This shouldn't happen with an Intel E8400 chip.

Sure enough (and I did this 3 times to verify), if I roll back to the Nvidia 169.12 drivers I will not drop any frames with the Killa Sampla. As soon as I upgrade to the new drivers, frames dropped.

This could be considered overly picky, but I thought perhaps someone might be annoyed in the future after they upgrade their Nvidia drivers. I'll be sticking with the trusty 169.12 drivers

Thanks drewjacks0n for the information, will be very useful.

Hmm, i'm running a e8400 and dropping frames in KillaSample. Think it has to do with my Videochip or Soundchip.. have no clue.. CPU runs @ like 80% but still drops frames and i get audiostutters, no videostutters...

I tried the killer_sample last night(with a somewhat similar setup), but I don´t get any framedrops(more than the standard 1 on init). Same as before I upgraded to 2.6.24-19 and 173.14.09. I installed the nvidia driver through envy.
