[SOLVED] Nvidia PRIME Synchronization doesn't work with linux 5.10

Hey there,
So I had this option enabled to get rid of screen tearing; but when I upgraded to linux 5.10, going into nvidia settings says that synchronization is off, and indeed there's a lot of screen tearing. If I downgrade to 5.9, it works again.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks in advance!

Can confirm. I also had the same issue with 5.4. Tried setting the "PRIME Synchronization" property to "1" with xrandr which didn't do anything (even though both "0" and "1"  are listed as supported values).

Yes! I thought it might just be that I had switched to laptop mode for christmas, but downgrading to 5.9.12 does fix it.

Okay so according to the latest post there, synchronization works on 5.10 with the latest nvidia beta version, 460.27.04
And indeed, I've just tested and it does work!
I guess now we just have to wait for it to make its way to our repos
