Re: Poor performance with non-free Nvidia drivers.[KDE Compositor Issue]

It reportedly did for the other user w/ similar symptoms (but different HW), but it's perfectly possible that those are different problem w/ the kwin compositor sad

Oh, damn. Unless you have anything else I'm out of ideas.

Re: Poor performance with non-free Nvidia drivers.[KDE Compositor Issue]

Try to disable vsync in the compositor settings and/or (but esp. if that helps)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Section "Device"
	Identifier 	"Default nvidia Device"
	Driver	"nvidia"
	Option	"TripleBuffer"			"True"
EndSection

I just reinstalled Arch and this issue seems to still persist, along with this, audio issues such as crackling are happening when I do something as minor as load a website. I think this might be a KDE issue.

Sounds like pulseaudio/pipewire/userspace doesn't get enough CPU time for audio processing - How's the CPU load of the system? Do you maybe run GL on a software emulation (glxinfo -B)?
