Is wayland ready for gaming with nivida RTX series? I have RTX 3060 Ti. I wouldn’t mind messing with it to make it work if I have to.

Would want to use a window manager like sway or river.

    I have the same card and, like others, I haven’t had gaming-related issues with Wayland. Can’t really speak to a performance difference between Wayland and X11 for the games I play, seems comparable to me.

    The only reason I switched to Wayland was because I use 2 displays, one 4K and the other 1440p, and I wanted fractional scaling. X11 can do this with workarounds, but the same scale factor gets applied across all displays. I wanted a different scale factor for each display, and it seemed like there was no way to make this work (in my case at least…it’s very possible I was doing something wrong).

    But Wayland fixed the issue for me so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I would’ve kept using X11 if not for that special case
