Desktop lag on "powerfull pc"

General Discussion
1

Goodmorning everyone.
I am a new clear linux user.
Here are my machine specifications:

Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Address sizes: 43 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 48
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-47
Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD
Model name: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24-Core Processor
CPU family: 23
Model: 49
And a 2060 nvidia super

I have already successfully installed the proprietary nvidia drivers as found in the clearlinux help.

My problem is that “the desktop” seems to be lagging. It seems less fluid than the linux distribution I had before on the pc (manjaro).
I have already tried switching from gnome to kde. But the problem persists.
Every now and then I see that chrome “lagga”. That windows are not as responsive as I used to with manjaro.
Which configuration should I go to modify?
Thanks

Does dmesg or journalctl give any hints about where the problem may be?

Greetings,

I had a similar problem. In my case, I needed to enable hires-smooth-resolution for my Logitech M705 mouse. Disclaimer: The following pertains to machine specifications using a Logitech mouse with a receiver.

# below, replace M705 with your mouse model
sudo swupd bundle-add Solaar-gui
sudo solaar show
sudo solaar config M705 hires-smooth-resolution True

Before this, I had enabled ForceCompositionPipeline=On for my display which helped with lag issues but have since reverted. Enabling hires scrolling did the trick for me.

ForceCompositionPipeline per individual screen: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-screen-opt.conf

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "Stereo" "0"
    Option         "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-2"
    Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}"
    Option         "SLI" "Off"
    Option         "MultiGPU" "Off"
    Option         "BaseMosaic" "off"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Or if desired, at the device level (all screens): /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-device-opt.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device0"
    Driver        "nvidia"
    VendorName    "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName     "GeForce RTX 2070"
    Option        "ForceCompositionPipeline" "True"
EndSection

Hoping that you can find and resolve the lag issue for your setup.
