SOLVED - “Allow screen tearing” was ON and caused this issue.

I have some constant stuttering on my current setup. Every 4-5 seconds, almost like a hiccup, I drop about 100 ms worth of frames.

3080 Ti on 570.124.04

Nobara with KDE

Wayland

This has been persistent through several GPU driver updates and I’m tired of trying to troubleshoot it. I don’t know what the exact cause is. Any ideas?

Also, related note, how easy is it to migrate from one distro to another? I am thinking about trying something else - maybe base Fedora or Arch - to hopefully have better performance.

      No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on. 😂
