Describe the bug
Since I’m using an optimus laptop, I encounter a huge tearing issue when my GPU hit the 70 degrees.
I already had this issue in the past with a desktop and it just needed to disable an option in the Nvidia panel but on my laptop, there is almost no option for my GPU.
Here is my configuration :
GPU : RTX 3050 laptop
CPU : Ryzen 7 6800HS creator edition
RAM : 32GB ram DDR5
Fedora 36
Proprietary driver from RPMfusion
Kernel 5.19.7
A video that describe that bug : NvidiaTearingBug
Does anyone knows how to fix that kind of tearing without the option from the Nvidia panel since they aren’t avalible to me on both Xorg and Wayland ?
Thanks.
my panel on Wayland AND Xorg are the same and lack a lot of option compared to my GTX 1070 desktop GPU :




To Reproduce
just launch a game or anything that has high GPU demand and wait for it to heat and goes to tearing
