So the strange part about this is that the proper driver seems to be in use yet xorg is way up there in terms of resource usage.
It's always way up there. Right now, the snap shows it using 99.5 CPU.

It would mean I've missed something no? I totally deleted the drivers that the DVD installed, then installed the proprietary nvidia drivers so I must be overlooking something else.
