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

    I would use x11 but most of my steam library won’t display over 60hz so there is no point in the performance gain unless there is a practical fix

      I am currently on Manjaro. It comes pre-installed with Nvidia drivers. My laptop is a Razer Blade 18 2023 version.

      It has a built in 240hz monitor. I am running X and it can be set to 240hz no problem. I also play D4 all the time and have it capped at 150 fps. It works absolutely no issues.

      I also have a desktop with a 3090 and manjaro and an Asus pgq42u. It runs at 120hz no problem.

      I think it is either a config issue on your end, or a distro issue.

        i’ve used xrandr to check before. it said that i was running at 165 hz however games for some odd problem wouldn’t go to 165 hz. its generally a pain to have some games run fine with x11 and better then wayland but then they dont display properly.

        though thanks for the reply
