I updated Arch and now I can’t use my screen above 60fps when using 4k without horrible artifacts and the screen regularly going black for a second or two. 60fps is stable. I can downgrade using timeshift, but I’d prefer to not have to because I really want to start using Wayland full-time. Right now I can’t use Wayland or X above 60fps since it happens with both whether in a game or not when using GNOME. Haven’t tested any other DE. VRR on with Wayland doesn’t fix it. If I switch back to driver v550, this does not happen with X or Wayland with 4k@120fps.
Only happens with 4k. 2k and 1080p 120fps is stable.
Specs:
- DE: GNOME 46
- OS: Arch
- Card: Nvidia 4090
- Driver: 555.58
- CPU: 13900k

options nvidia_drm modeset=1
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1
options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
I ran sudo mkinitcpio -P after changing it
I also ran nvidia-smi -q | grep GSP after a reboot and confirmed GSP is disabled with the output GSP Firmware Version : N/A

I also have the nvidia-resume, nvidia-hibernate, and nvidia-suspend services enabled. When I show the status of all 3 services using sytemctl status, it says they’re all dead? I don’t see any issues in journalctl. Maybe I Just don’t understand how these services are supposed to work.
Even with all that, I had to force enable Wayland via the symlink below
ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
Maybe me having to force enable it is a sign something else is still needs done? Everything worked fine with 550, so maybe not?
