Hopefully this driver fixes the long standing issue of horrifically bad screen tearing and frame pacing when using an NVIDIA GPU in render offload configuration in an Optimus laptop with an AMD CPU and a VRR display. I don't know if it's a common issue, but games are basically unplayable on my laptop due to the major frame pacing issues with frames seemingly displayed out of order at times resulting in jittering/shaking. Thankfully this issue does not happen with NVK.

@slmb3 no, because that change was in previous older drivers, as the article notes it's including actually new changes

Thanks for clarifying. I saw your note on that but was still a little confused looking at the nvidia post lol.

Oh I hope I can try this out on NixOS soon. I was having a miserable experience with games and even with Steam on my 1080 TI via Wayland (so I had to switch back to xorg) with flickering and flashing. Hoping maybe it fixes some of the issues.
