Hi Allessandro,
three years is not an age for a graphiccard!! more than 10 years would be
something, where I would say this is old.
But not in your case as well as mine. My Laptop is also only nearly two
years old. And for a Notebook, this is also
not a real age!!!
I experienced the same problem with my Graphiccard, I posted in LinuxMint
9. So I had to install this ppa-repository
and that helped me out of a mess with my nvidia-card. For me, the
display-resolution was way to big in that former
release of LinuxMint. But since this new driver has been publised, I do
not have these problems anymore. And on this
link they also write that it can be possible, that LinuxMint, Ubuntu and
its derivates do not support such so new cards
properly and that's why this ppa-repository is really recommended.
The change of your graphiccard would only be for the very worst case, if
this ppa-repository won't help you out of your
problem. I don't think, that reopening this bug would help a lot. First
try that hint with this ppa-repository. But if
that should not help, then you should really think about changing that one.
Greetings
