Occasional diagonal screen tearing?

Running latest Pop!_OS on a Dell G5 5590 (i7 9th gen, 16Gb RAM, 1660ti mobile). Occasionally, I'll get a tear in the screen going from bot. left to up. right corner. I'm on latest driver as far as I can tell (Pop!_Shop shows both 470.199.02 and 545.29.06 as installed) any ideas? Tearing only happens on second monitor, not built in. It's some generic office monitor plugged in with HDMI (though I can't attest to the cables quality). I could use DP if that would help, but I dont want to spend money rn.

Does this happen on wayland, X11 or both?

strawberry,

uhh how do i check what im on

pastermil,

Did you change the setting? What Pop OS version are you on?

strawberry,

what setting? on pop 22.04 lts

Sentau,

If you have not fiddled with any display settings from the command line, it is safe to say that you are X11.

strawberry,

guess I'll check how Wayland performs tgen

Sentau,

Dont. Pop OS uses a older version of gnome which has a lot bugs under wayland. It is why the default is X11 and why the option to enable wayland is ‘hidden’ behind the command line.

Instead see if the issue is resolved by turning on ForceFullCompositionPipeline in the nvidia settings

Edit : The option might also be labelled ForceCompositionPipeline
