NVIDIA + Proton out of order frames and extra vsync latency (files.catbox.moe)

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to ask.

Hello, everyone. I've recently gotten back into NixOS and immediately noticed that NVIDIA is buggy. (no surprise there) I've searched far and wide and it seems that no one else has these bugs? (I am most likely wrong though) I've gone mad trying to fix these two.

Here's some extra info:

This is not distro exclusive, i've tried on fresh installs too.

I am using 565 with an RTX 3060 gpu.

I am on wayland/hyprland.

Curiously enough, this doesn't happen on native games such as Metro 2033 or HOI4, only on proton.

apologies for the shitty gameplay and recording, and thanks.

I had this happen on Fedora with amd cards as well. At the time I was using riverwm which is based on wlroots. I tried a few other WMs that also used wlroots and had the same problem, so I think the issue is somehow related to wlroots but I don't know enough about it to be sure.

When I tried on KDE Plasma (Kwin) I had no issue. So you may want to try Plasma or Gnome and see if the issue persists.

Tried plasma, the bug was "fixed", but the performance was horrid.

fyi, hyprland isn't wlroots anymore, its standalone :)

ok, I haven't used hyprland so I wasn't sure. The wayland tiling WMs I tried all had the same problem so I don't know what the underlying cause is. I personally don't have performance issues on wayland plasma and I don't have an nvidia card in a linux system so I can't test it further. I hope you are able to figure it out.
