I am trying to explain as best as i can. I have laptop with nvidia graphics. I checked the graphic driver is installed, in browser smooth scrolling is also enabled but still while browsing is see frame drops, or something like earlier software of galaxy fold one side scrolls and the after a while second side comes. This happens in browser while scrolling, watch videos on youtube, there are a lot of frame drop while playing video, also while watching video stored locally and at times even when i right click on the desktop there will be some adjusting first. I don’t know what it is and i can’t find a way to fix it. If someone can help me fix it, that will be greatly appreciated.
I have enable nvidia driver and also GPU acceleration in the browser.
I find that adjusting CPU speed governor to performance helps a lot. You may also have similar problems with VLC an you may need to increase memory buffer for that.
I also suggest to use a screen tearing test found in some youtube channels that supports 60fps
In the new window go to “X Server Display Configuration”, then click the advanced button, and check the box that says “Force Full Composition Pipeline”. Click apply and save to x configuration file. The default location should be correct.
If this doesnt help then please report what browser you’re using.
I dont remember prime being supported with the proprietary driver. You could try setting the drm modeset for the nvidia driver. You cant use prime and fix this issue. My suggestion is to disable the nvidia gpu or the intel gpu in bios if you have the option.
I’m thinking you’ve followed some tutorial to enable prime in an attempt to fix your tearing issues but this is counter to what we want. I’ve never seen mint set this up after installing the proprietary driver.
