Video tearing in Google Chrome

Hey guys,

In the last few days I've been experiencing problems with videos tearing in Google Chrome on my main screen (Asus VG27AQ1A, 1440p 144hz), on my secondary monitor (1080p 60hz) there doesn't seem to be an issue.

This wasn't a problem before even on this same setup, I tried to find what changed but I couldn't pinpoint the issue.

I'm running KDE Wayland, here are some specs:

Kernel: 6.5.8-arch1-1 
Resolution: 2560x1440 
DE: Plasma 5.27.8 
WM: kwin 
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i5-12400F (12) @ 4.400GHz 
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Lite Hash Rate 

Nvidia packages:

lib32-nvidia-utils 535.113.01-1
lib32-opencl-nvidia 535.113.01-1
nvidia-dkms 535.113.01-2
nvidia-settings 535.113.01-1
nvidia-utils 535.113.01-2
opencl-nvidia 535.113.01-2

Google Chrome info, I've tried enabling some flags but its the same behavior as before:

Google Chrome	118.0.5993.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) 
Revision	1d05652f52a55dcf9a7905af94949f2bc3a66306-refs/branch-heads/5993@{#1298}
OS	Linux
JavaScript	V8 11.8.172.15
User Agent	Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Command Line	/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --flag-switches-begin --enable-webgpu-developer-features --enable-features=Vulkan --flag-switches-end --origin-trial-disabled-features=WebGPU

In KDE display config I have Adaptive Sync on automatic right now.

Could you please help me figure out what is the issue here?

I will attach an image below, you can see the tearing on the bottom of the image.

Re: Video tearing in Google Chrome

It seems like chrome is still using X11 to display, you can try the flags below to get it to use wayland

--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations
--ozone-platform=wayland
