RT kernel seems to cause some problems to Nvidia card owners

Here is a little known, but very important to know, fact.
The proprietary NVidia drivers are messing up with the realtime scheduling. The driver basically hijacks the CPU resources, leaving bare minimum, for your other needs. I didn't realise how bad it was, until i switched to Intel.

I believe you, but would like to see results of tests which prove this please.

Unfortunately, i don't have NVidia card in my system. It was close to a decade ago, when i last owned NVidia. At the time NVidia VGA was the only way to have a correctly functioning 64Studio 2.1 on 1920x1080 screen, playing 1080p videos. If i have the card, i will gladly perform the benchmarks, for the sake of it. If there is someone among you with NVidia + Intel VGA's on the same computer, you can test if my claim still stands. Just make sure that the NVidia card is physically removed, when testing the Intel VGA

While you're at it, benchmark the velocity of spy balloons entering protected air space.

Personally, I suspect its the doing of a disgruntled GoodYear employee.
