Anyway I would like to be able to use the proprietary nvidia drivers as I consider them a better option.
]]>Yes, try also starting sway with its vanilla package and the --unsupported-gru parameter. And the same thing happens, in fact there is a little white flicker also that is solved with that sway-nvidia package (I understand that by the extra configuration that adds before starting sway).
]]>Don't expect much though. I think NVIDIA's much-vaunted GBM support might be an elaborate practical joke. I hate NVIDIA.
]]>I have also tried with gimp and the same thing happens to me.
]]>I have 2 monitors.
The main one -> 1080p 144hz
The secondary -> 1080p 60hz
In the applications that work with wayland (Chrome, vkube, etc) there are no problems.
On applications running xorg/x11 yes (xeyes, gparted, vmware-workstation, etc)
I use kernel lts and nvidia drivers lts.
And the rest of things I use the stable version (sway, xorg, etc).
In the following shared folder I post 2 videos so you can see exactly what happens to me.

The xorg configuration is the one that nvidia generated by default, I have not changed it. Should I do it to solve the problem?

Currently on my computer I have put sway-nvidia + nvidia 2070. The applications that work under wayland go perfectly, but unfortunately I need applications that only have support for X11, the problem is that if I open any of them I have black flashing in some areas and soon closes.
I do not know how to address this issue (I do not know if it is a configuration problem, or incompatibility or where to look for a solution).
If you need any more information, please ask without problems. Thanks in advance!

I've been testing and configuring monitors with their resolution with xorg in the xorg.conf file and it doesn't solve anything.
I have also tried with gimp and the same thing happens to me.
