y'all. I decided to get the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Kubuntu via the "Additional Drivers" menu because I've heard that it increases performance over Noveau. I have a GTX 1050 Ti. I installed them and the loading animations on the icons were SUPER fast. The scrolling in Firefox was also really weird. I checked the FPS using the built-in KDE Plasma feature and it claimed my FPS was 100FPS. On Noveau, it claimed 60. Important to note: My laptop has a 60Hz monitor, so the NVIDIA drivers must be causing some weird FPS bug. I looked in NVIDIA X Server Settings but no options helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

100FPS in a 60Hz monitor shouldn't be a problem. – ChanganAuto May 09 '21 at 18:17
It does cause a problem. The scrolling looks choppy and the loading animations are really fast. – SouthAfrican Nerd May 09 '21 at 18:41
Screen tearing is unrelated with what you're thinking. I suggest trying this: https://askubuntu.com/a/1263571/1210606 – ChanganAuto May 09 '21 at 18:44
