Hey, I am fairly new to linux and have recently bought a new monitor to do some more gaming with. Though I have been annoyed with wayland having the support for the monitor but x11 actually running games at 165 or higher fps. My specs are
- AMD ryzen 7 5700x (with hyper threading so we got 16 cores active)
- Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 12 gig
- Asrock b450m-hdv r4.0
- 16 gigs of ddr4 memory
- Samsung 980 pro (nvme)
- Lexar SSD (i dunno which one but my games are on the samsung drive)
- A 2 terrabyte harddrive with a name i have no clue
- KDE plasma 5.27.9
- Wayland
- Using Fedora 39 workstation
- the latest current nvidia drivers (535.129.03)
If you guys could help improve wayland performance or find solutions to make x11 work better with multi monitor support I will probably never think about windows again lol
Your problem is that you have an nvidia GPU, which while it has been improving over the years, it still has a lot problems with Wayland, sorry.
At this point it feels more like a wayland issue. NVIDIA cards have their full computing potential available in any situation with the driver present. How hard could it be over so many years for Wayland to produce a workload they can support when X already does.
Nvidia has been slow at supporting the standards required by Wayland. If they don’t support them at the full potential of their hardware its not Waylands fault, nor is there anything anyone other than Nvidia could do about it.
