Has anyone tested differences in how vulkan dev handles Wayland vs regular?
Has anyone tested differences in how vulkan dev handles Wayland vs regular?
I will test today.
The Nvidia driver Vulkan dev version 535.43.22 does not have the flickering/artifacting issues with Wayland that the 545.29.06 may experience. However, it lacks some features introduced with the 545 driver, such as DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction. Therefore, the 535 Vulkan Dev performs better under Wayland compared to the 545 driver. Personally, I have achieved better results with X11 using the 545 driver. I conducted several tests while streaming, and X11 with the 545 driver seems to be the optimal compromise at the moment, especially for games with Raytracing and DLSS 3.5.
I use the /etc/environment variables from below as quoted:
# SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland # Can break some native games
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
# QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb"
MOZ_DBUS_REMOTE=1 # For shared clipboard with Xwayland apps
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm
WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1
KITTY_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1

I'll do some benchmarks with Phoronix Test Suite and upload some results. I should do also in an X11 session to show comparison.
Edited: commented out variables that were incompatible with configuration
Hey, 535.43.22 is out for Vulkan Dev
