I think i am experience some screen tearing on my Linux machine. I have reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers multiple times. I’ve also watched some videos on how to fix this problem but none of the settings in NVIDIA-settings are available to me
any help is appreciated
Please try kernel parameter
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
i have but no luck
Where do you experience screen tearing?
Where there is a sudden movement or flashing on my screen
Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post. You will have to rename the file ending to something else since the forum software doesn’t accept .gz files (nifty!).

Here is the file. Extracted it
According to the logs, you’re running in render offload mode so everything is running on the intel gpu unless you specify explicitly to use the nvidia gpu. Do you have tearing in games with offloading?
currently, i switched to the NVIDIA on demand so the tearing would stop. should i switch back to the NVIDIA performance mode
Yes, at least to create a new nvidia-bug-report.log.

Thanks For the help @generix. I believe it has fixed itself
You previously had the 435 driver, now with 440.64, PRIME sync is working again.
