    I recently tried Wayland and it was not so pleasant experience. Guess I’ll try again soon.

      There was no sync at all in the last drivers, now we have good sync, it should be nice smooth experience once everything updates

        Heh, I tried the NVK driver just out of curiosity and it worked better than proprietary driver for Wayland. I wonder if this update would make that level of smoothness.

          NVK is great overall, for gaming eeeeh, no, sadly. I think it’s getting improvements for vulkan gaming

          But 555 beta is already much better than 550 on wayland

            Well, I tried gaming but best it can do is mid-tier gaming. Still impressive though.

            That’s good to hear. Hopefully they release final version soon.
