i recently installed manjaro kde edition

i tried capping my fps to 60 and tried vsync
if it changes anything i am using latte dock (but i disable compositor when playing)
do you know what could be causing this?

To start investigating, we need some more info. Here is [HowTo] Provide System Information

3

On KDE with Nvidia, it is recommended to enable Composition Pipeline in Nvidia Settings. Check Imgur: The magic of the Internet for reference.

4

is that better?

5

i cant change any nvidia settings (im guessing its because my laptop screen is connected to my cpu and not my gpu)

6

This is for normal Nvidia setup, not hybrid. I guess you could try to enable TearFree option in the xorg config then, but tha’s just a guess. Intel graphics - ArchWiki

7

there is no 20-intel.conf file there
only these: 00-keyboard.conf 30-touchpad.conf 90-mhwd.conf
should i just create the file or does this mean something is wrong?

8

You could create the file. You could also use your current xorg used file I guess too.

9

it didnt work
i made the file and pasted the text and rebooted but i still got screen tearing

10

Maybe you need to read all the article section about possible issues and other option to add, also maybe you need to NOT disable the compositor.

What is the content of the file you created?
What did you set in game, did you try with and without the Vsync option?
How do you run the game?

11

i disable compositor since i use latte-dock with blurring so it takes a lot of cpu when playing games

  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

am i supposed to change the identifier and driver?
2 i tried vsync, capping my fps at 60, and setting it to unlimited
3. i use multi mc with the “prime-run” command so it uses my gpu

12

If this is the content of the file, you’re missing a part, make sure you did it properly.

Maybe try without disabling the compositor.

Also maybe try to add the triple buffer option as mentioned in the section of the article I linked.

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "TearFree" "true"
  Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection

I don’t have an hybrid setup so I can’t guarantee what to do.
