nvidia still has a long way to go in optimizing wayland?

The gpu is nvidia 1060 and I have been using GNOME in wayland mode.
A while ago, I accidentally played CSGO2 on Steam using x11, and i found that there was no lag or screen flickering.
I was shocked at how soft it was.
In the meantime, when lag or screen flickering occurred in Wayland, I thought it was because the game was heavy...
And there were a lot of errors in yuzu and mame, so I gave up, but there were no problems in x11, and the graphics were cleaner.

I wondered if I had made a mistake with the nvidia settings, so I tested all the settings on the arch wiki for several days, but there didn't seem to be an answer. I'm curious about other people who play steam games, mame, or yuzu on nvidia.
I secretly installed CSGO2 today on a Linux computer with a Radeon graphics card at the office, and it was really smooth.
No matter how much I think about it, I think the nvidia (property) driver has not yet been optimized for wayland.

Counter Strike 2 runs really well for me under Wayland (sway) with an AMD RX7600S card and the open source drivers.

XWayland clients are known to still be a bit of a flicker fest potentially, until nvidia and other contributors have implemented explicit sync in the wayland protocol, which many parties are quite actively collaborating on: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse … quests/967

Re: nvidia still has a long way to go in optimizing wayland?

The principle still applies though. NVIDIA have only recently added EGL support and it looks to be pretty crappy. Bunch of wankers, the lot of 'em.
