Everything is laggy under nvidia/hybrid mode
See original GitHub issueDescribe the bug Whenever I switch to nvidia or to hybrid mode everything starts being laggy, both simple things (terminal, browser) and obviously games.
I tried fiddling with the configuration a bit but nothing changed, what I’ve tried:
[optimus]
pci_power_control=yes
[nvidia]
modeset=yes
DPI=

I am having a similar issue, hybrid mode works fine using the internal display, but as soon as I plug in an external monitor everything becomes extremely choppy. For example playing a 4k video uses 50% of all cores. Thank for the nvidia link, guess we will have to wait a bit.
Similar problem here on a HP Pavilion laptop running Arch, no display manager, KDE Plasma:
intel
mode, the external monitor is ignorednvidia
andhybrid
mode, both monitors work, but the external one lags, while the internal one is just fineAnd I just realized that removing optimus-manager completely produces that same behavior…
