I had 16.04 (stock install, open source drivers) on this PC for 2 years and it was working great. 1080 video played without delays or skips. Upgraded to 18.04, now 720 video plays almost OK (sometimes jumpy), 1080 all jumpy and skipping. Even Google Maps jumpy when trying to move a map.
Some data below:

Any idea what's wrong. I'm almost ready to switch to onboard Intel video adapter, but want to use powerful card I have.
