hello! when i play a game in fullscreen and fullscreen windowed, and i have a youtube video with Picture in Picture above, the games looks like it has around 20 fps even though it has way more (i checked with steam's fps counter), the problem happens with every game it seems, but i didnt test a lot of games, and it did not happen a few days ago. Sometimes it occur when i'm playing a game in windowed without PiP

when i cap the fps in game to 60, it's more smooth but not perfect, but if i uncap it or set the cap higher, it's not smooth at all

my screen is 180hz, i use firefox (i tried dev edition and stable, also it doesn't change anything with a new profile) i use nvidia driver version 575.57.07, i do not use vsync, and when i use it it doesn´t change anything, my distro is lmde 6, the problem is happening with any kernel, but i mainly use liquorix 6.14.10 (i included a neofetch screenshot) thanks!

Steps to reproduce : start a game, start youtube, put it in PiP, see the problem

Do you have performance mode for nvidia enabled?

Mint still uses X11 (xorg), and it doesn't go well with a multi-monitor setup with different refresh rates. Wayland still in a experimental stage in Mint, you could try to install or use another OS that natively supports wayland.
