I tried Wayland again on my Vega and I see that the input delay dilemma is solved, but I do want to buy a new GPU and thinking Nvidia. Also a year ago I tried a GT 710 I had to see if the situation was that bad with general support. Since then I have seen that the situation is way better now. Last time I had Nvidia on Linux(for games) was with the GTX 800m series years ago and that was obviously on Xorg. What is the experience with RTX cards gaming on Wayland right now?

    While I don’t have an Nvidia GPU myself I have seen quite a lot of posts about this or about how good Wayland overall is and from what I’ve seen it’s a very mixed bag. Some people say it works fine and some people say the gpu fucking exploded and leveled the entire city

      It makes me wonder where the blame truly lies. Redditors love going off at nvidia in the comments in relation to Wayland, but the hardware with the official driver can crunch numbers on a render like no tomorrow perfectly fine, let alone render anything you please at full acceleration in X. It seems like the contributors behind Wayland already have access to accelerated hardware which evidently has no problem being used to accelerate things. Wouldn’t they be moving heaven and earth to squash the non-existent to city-leveling spectrum of issues people seem to be having with nvidia hardware today?
