[SOLVED] Screen Tearing I guess?

[heavy ridge]

Hi, when playing games like “Geometry Dash” or any game for that matter, I feel a little bit of screen tearing with -2 frames drops, any way to fix it?
(Arch Linux, Gnome (Wayland))

@heavy ridge nvidia or amd, laptop or desktop?

[heavy ridge]

Nvidia (Rtx 3050) Laptop

[signal minnow]

I would recommend installing auto-cpufreq, it's an automatic CPU speed and power optimizer for Linux based on active monitoring of laptop's battery state, CPU usage, CPU temperature and system load

[heavy ridge]

i arl have that

[signal minnow]

nvidia open or non open?

[heavy ridge]

mhm what you mean with that?

[signal minnow]

pacman -Q | grep nvidia

[heavy ridge]

❯ pacman -Q | grep nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils 560.35.03-3
nvidia-dkms 560.35.03-4
nvidia-settings 560.35.03-1
nvidia-utils 560.35.03-4

[signal minnow]

what kernel are you using?

[heavy ridge]

cachy os

Kernel: 6.10.9-1-cachyos-eevdf

[signal minnow]

@heavy ridge are you on cachy os?

[heavy ridge]

no

just using the kernel

im using gnome

[signal minnow]

x86-64-v3 is coming to arch soon https://rfc.archlinux.page/0032-arch-linux-ports/ https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/[e-mail]/thread/CDQ32T3ZVKWVYGQ76JTA5HWA2TW5MQZG/ https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/[e-mail]/thread/QSBPAWQGOT66VHP62ODTMLAICRTBUYP7/ so why cachy os kernel?

[heavy ridge]

well a "Setup Your Arch For Gaming" caused me to install only the kernel

[signal minnow]

@heavy ridge try the stock kernel instead

[heavy ridge]

[signal minnow]

2 people are working on bringing that kernel to the native repos

[signal minnow]

pacman -S linuix

[heavy ridge]
