UI slow to update after latest updates. Nvidia proprietary problem?

Since the last updates, many things on the UI is being slow to update itself. For instance, if I click on a drop down or other UI element, I won't see the change until I either click on something else or scroll the page. Typing also lags a lot, where the letter won't appear until I type the next letter. Just writing this post, the text is switching between updating properly and being a letter behind.

It's most obvious while using firefox, but this lag also happens while clicking things in simple applications, for instance gnome-session-properties was slow to update when I tried to check and uncheck boxes. Strangely, gnome-terminal doesn't seem to be effected and nautilus seems to be responsive as usual too.

I'm on Gnome 3.10.2 and Nvidia 334.21. I did try downgrading to Nvidia 331 to see if it would provide a temporary fix, but for some reason that stopped X from running entirely (downgraded nvidia, nvidia-libgl and nvidia-utils, as well as the 32 bit equivalents). I have a 560Ti GPU.

Thanks.

Re: UI slow to update after latest updates. Nvidia proprietary problem?

Having the same issue, with a 570.  Did you have to add nvidia to your mkinitcpio.conf to get the login managers to work?  I did.

Using nouveau, no issues.  Using proprietary nvidia with XFCE, no issues.  Tried Gnome Classic and Cinnamon with nvidia, both have the issue.  It's fine at first, but starts about a minute after the desktop screen appears.  Tried downgrading to various nvidia versions, with worse results. 

Did you find a solution?

I didn't have to do anything with mkinitcpio.conf. I haven't found any solution yet sadly. Still haven't figured out how to downgrade the drivers either without X breaking.

I've been following this thread for now https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178024 which seems to be talking about the same issue.

I think it's clutter or mutter one those that both cinnamon and gnome use. I also have that issue.
