Bad X11 performance with Plasma + NVIDIA Propietary Driver

Aurelio3351 · 2024-03-04 03:45:47

Hi.

I've been using Plasma for a while in my Arch. I have an NVIDIA 2080 RTX in my PC.
When i first installed Arch, i saw the window animations and stuff performance was really bad, so i tried changing to Wayland, and it was a lot more smoother, so i stayed on it.
With the time, all the uncompatibilites of Wayland began to tire me, so i had to return to X11, which keeps being slow in some animations, thing that is very annoying. For example, every time you open a window, it flickers a little bit, and the mouse and everything runs slow, until after 1 second of the most annoying thing in the world, the window opens. It is very annoying and really makes the system look so slow.
Is there anything, any configuration with the NVIDIA driver, any configuration for X11, any configuration for Plasma, or anything in the world that can make X11 run smoother? Or is it only, and only, the X11 bad performance that everyone is talking about due to it's old code? I really don't think so, because i've got a Laptop with Hybrid Graphics and 120Hz screen, and X11 runs well on it.
I use the NVIDIA driver with the kernel parameter, and early loading, which i read improves performance (i really did it because i needed it for using Wayland).
Also, my screen is 144Hz, which maybe is making things worse.

Here's my Neofetch output if it's useful someway:

Please help me, i really want to use Arch, because it has been working on everything for me, except on this, and i would be really sad to use another distribution or returning to Windows just for this bullshit.

Remove xf86-video-vesa, but I don't think this is a problem.
You're running a single GPU on the nvidia driver, KMS is enabled, the simpeldrm device blocked - looks all fine.
And your single output is FullHD, so no stress there either.

First of all, when suspending the compositor (SHIFT+Alt+F12), things run at normal pace?
Second, what if you actually switch to 60Hz ("xrandr --output HDMI-0 --rate 60")?
Third, how does "picom --backend=glx" behave?

and the mouse and everything runs slow

is kinda weird, since the cursor should™ be in hardware and unrelated to eg. the compositor…

Remove xf86-video-vesa, but I don't think this is a problem.

Removed it.

First of all, when suspending the compositor (SHIFT+Alt+F12), things run at normal pace?

Nothing happens when doing SHIFT+Alt+F12.

Second, what if you actually switch to 60Hz ("xrandr --output HDMI-0 --rate 60")?

The slowness keeps being there.

Third, how does "picom --backend=glx" behave?

"picom --backend=glx" output:

SHIFT+Alt+F12 is KDEs default compositor toggle, it'll remove shadows, transparency etc.

Datd knowledge
Check

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin

for what functions are actually still there.

You're running kwin on KDE and the kwin compositor is active (and as long as that's the case you cannot start picom either)

rien.

"qdbus org.kde.KWin" has probably a dedicated interface for the compositor and in that possibly a function to toggle it.
Don't post the outputs, look around.

Also check your global shortcuts, did you explicitly disable the toggle?

Aurelio3351 · 2024-03-04 17:35:55

Ok, i went to System Settings, shortcuts, and KWin, and i found the "Suspend composition" shortcut, and it was "Alt+Shift+F12", not "Shift+Alt+F12". Disabled it, and all the animations and things turned off, but when opening any windows there isn't any lag, so, is this the right way?

Last edited by Aurelio3351 (2024-03-04 17:36:21)

seth · 2024-03-04 17:41:09

Alt+Shift+F12 and Shift+Alt+F12 are the exact same thing, unless you're using some keymap that alters the 2nd level shift of alt.
We'll maybe look at that later.

animations and things turned off, but when opening any windows there isn't any lag

So it's the kwin compositor, tried picom?

Aurelio3351 · 2024-03-04 17:55:00

Disabled the compositor at start, and ran picom. The same error shows but picom seems to work, altough every animation seems a little bit strange, but this may be cause of picom not running from start. I just realized that page scrolling is slow, like if it was 60Hz.
Found this to make Picom run with Plasma at start: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/p … win_picom/.
Should i do it?

seth · 2024-03-04 18:23:20

No, we're just using picom as test device

I just realized that page scrolling is slow, like if it was 60Hz.

There's no way for you to actually spot a difference here, even if you could spot fps slightly above 60fps, you cannot track them.
You'd have to be way below that (eg. at 30fps)
Also there's a good change that whatever scrolls the page (browser) has a limited fps, but most likely you're witnessing a double sync, possibly because of some smoothscrolling feature in your browser.
You could enable "Option "TripleBuffer" "True"" in the xorg config but I guess that's not the subject of this thread atm.

For the OT: The windows show up normally w/ picom?
How does picom behave w/ the xrender output?
How does picom behave if you force the refresh rate to be 144?
See ~/.config/picom.conf

Stupid question: when you open a window and it's slow w/ the kwin compositor, is there also a bouncing cursor?
Or is the slowness actually just the "opening" animation? (zoom, I guess) Did you try to disable that or alter its features?

RyLoS78 · 2024-03-13 21:01:59

I've the exact same problem. Nvidia package with standard linux kernel (Nvidia RTX 4070).
On wayland animations are ok. On X11 if I overlap in circle movements the windows on the panel things start to get choppy. Disabling Kwin it all become super smooth. My monitor is a qhd at 180hz, all nvidia settings are default (with gsync enabled).
My kwin is not customized, out of the box effects.
Any clue?
About one month ago when we were on plasma 5 and nvidia 535 all was super smooth under x11.

seth · 2024-03-13 21:03:57

What if you disable vsync in the compositor or globally export "__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0" ?

RyLoS78 · 2024-03-14 07:53:18

I've tried with both "__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0" and "KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1" and also "KWIN_X11_FORCE_SOFTWARE_VSYNC=1", nothing work.
I tested the behavior better and enabled the FPS display; the problem is that the FPS drops from 180 even up to 50/40 when the bottom edge of a window (I tried with Dolphin) overlaps the edge of the bottom panel. I tried deactivating the floating panel and also disabling the magnetic docking but the problem is still present.
If the bottom edge of Dolphin has passed the edge of the panel and the window is halfway below the panel, even if I move it the FPS goes back to 180.

seth · 2024-03-14 09:20:50

Disable the blur effect?

RyLoS78 · 2024-03-14 10:49:52

Disabling the blur effect seems slightly better, I can lose FPS down to 75 (with blur 40/50) but the stuttering is still present and noticeable. It also appears that this stuttering happens when restoring a maximized window (like a browser) from the panel, instead of seeing the smooth animation only 2 or 3 frames of the animation are shown.
I tried deactivating various effects (those that can be deactivated), but this drop at 75 FPS remains.
Ah I use a single monitor. Under wayland all is perfectly smooth like x11 in the past (blur included). But wayland+nvidia is then a disaster for some apps in my case.

seth · 2024-03-14 16:56:18

monitor is a qhd at 180hz, all nvidia settings are default (with gsync enabled).

Disable gsync (the OP doesn't have a VRR cabable output) and try to run the output at static 60Hz (a 250ms animation would then still have 15 frames)

Make sure the environment was actually appleid to kwin_x11

tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pidof kwin_x11)/environ

and enable

KWIN_X11 variables are set correctly. I've tried every single combination of them and also TripleBuffer. Problem is still not resolved, there is definitively something wrong with X11 and the new Plasma6 panel using nvidia drivers (something that was working very well on plasma5 before).
For now I'll have to live with this choppy behavior hoping it gets fixed sooner or later
Anyway thank you for your help.

seth · 2024-03-15 08:38:58

The problem is *exclusively* the panel?
Overlapping w/ other ARGB windows (eg. "urxvt -depth 32 -bg 'rgba:3f00/3f00/3f00/d000'") doesn't do anything like this?

The panel has apparently some sort of crumble mode where it shrinks or whatever when contacting a window - can you disable that and does it have any impact?

RyLoS78 · 2024-03-18 07:33:43

The problem is exclusively the plasma6 new panel. Disabling "floating effect" doesn't resolve the issue. I've tried all I can right now, no way to fix it. Maybe I can make a video to show better this annoying thing.

seth · 2024-03-18 15:06:50

Does the CPU load go up when you cause the collision?
If so, in which process - plasma or kwin?

RyLoS78 · 2024-03-18 19:21:08

It's completely (with a workaroud) solved following this post https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482717 (last comments) AND disabling panel floating mode and setting it to opaque. definitely a problem of the new plasma6 panel.
Will stick with these 2 settings for now....
