Nvidia proprietary driver flickering screen

just installed manjaro (was using the last 7 years or so fedora).
unfortunately, with the nvidia driver i have evil flickering on my monitor connected with dp.
the hdmi one (left display) works like a charm with 144hz. the right one should have 165hz but feels more like 30hz.
switched to nouveau now it seems to work but i would prefer nvidia (better hw acceleration)

Hello and welcome,

Moved you comment to a dedicated topic so we can try to help you sort that issue.
First we need some more information about your setup/hardware, see @cscs instructions above.

In case you want to move forward, see here:


and also check the solution from the other OP.

Start with:


    Option  "ConnectToAcpid"    "Off"
    Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On}

first and then, depending on DE you use (since you mentioned fedora, i guess Gnome) things can be taken further.
