Shuttering after upgrading to Nvidia 555 driver.

Arda? · 2024-07-02 11:47:07

Hello everyone, 2 days ago i upgraded my system. When I rebooted my system up, I saw the screen was feeling like 60hz and I had huge frame skips.

I solve the problem by downgrading my drivers to 550 and it worked but I want to use 555 because it was fixed my most of rendering issues on Discord, Chromium etc. so I upgraded back to 555.

I changed my env variables on hyprland and I add

 NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

to my GRUB config but it didnt helped.

Shuttering is low on 120hz and 60hz but on 144 and higher its very high.

System Info:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500f
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super
Display: 1920x1080@180
Distro: Arch Linux 64 bit
DE/WM: Hyprland

I may have made spelling mistakes because I'm Turkish, I'm sorry. I wrote it here because the solutions on most websites and forums did not work. Thanks for your help in advance

"judder"
You get this when the desired fps and the syncing refresh rate fall apart, but higher output refresh rates would rather mitigate it (because the overhead of the hanging frame becomes very short, for 144Hz <=7ms which is less than twice the regular frame time of a 60Hz output and way below the human perception level)

Was hyprland itself in the update?
Do you get the same behavior w/ sway, weston or an X11 session?

Make sure you're actually using:

nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

on the kernel line to pass that to the correct module (nvidia).
Alternatively:

options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

in a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d.

This does fix the judder in Plasma in connection with GSP offloading not being ready yet. This may or may not be a universal (including Hyprland) thing.

Yup, I get same thing on X11/Wayland with KDE and Wayland with Hyprland when I downgrade my 555 driver to 550 the problems are fixed. But I wonder why 555 drivers judder.

Thanks for your reply

They are in my config, I also updated GRUB config 2 times. In modprobe.d I was created a file named

nvidia.conf

and then I writed

 option nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

Thanks for your reply

There're multiple reports reg. the 555xx drivers causing output problems.
Add "nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0" to the kernel parameters and check "cat /proc/cmdline" to make sure it applied - or wait for the next nvidia driver release…

They are applied, but nothing changes. Then I back to nvidia 550 drivers and the problems are solved. So yeah maybe I should wait next driver update. Thanks for reply.
