I’ve been having some pretty terrible stuttering and screen tearing. It seems to only happen on a few games, and while digging through the forum trying to find a solution, it seems the Xserver setting is missing a lot of options. I’m pretty sure it’s not a performance issue as The Division 2 and Exanima will run relatively fine, but Stardew Valley and City Skylines 2 run absolutely terrible. I will also get a ton of errors in the terminal when trying sudo nvidia-settings.
I’m very new at this so apologies in advance.
