Tearing/Ghosting/blurry Text in chrome while scrolling!

Hello awesome manjaro community :smiley:

I’m facing that silly problem , Tearing/Ghosting/blurry Text in Google Chrome while scrolling , i tried disable “Smooth Scrolling” in the “chrome://flags/” it got worse & installed an extinction called Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller , it got worse !
& i tried Firefox , its there but not noticeable like chrome

so what is the fix for that ?

P.S i wanted to attach a link with a screen record of the tearing to this topic but it said i cant

thanks in advance

Not necessary, your description is good enough. :wink:

thanks in advance :wink:

The driver should be nvidia, but apparently it wasn’t installed. Try installing it manually and rebooting.

sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime

If that doesn’t work, you may need the 390 driver:

sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-390xx-prime
