570.124.04 high refresh rate causes rendering issues with gpu accelerated apps (wayland)

NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version

570.124.04

Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.

• I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.

Operating System and Version

Kernel Release

Linux nixos 6.13.4-cachyos #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Feb 21 13:11:21 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.

Hardware: GPU

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

Describe the bug

When my refresh rate is set to 240Hz and I'm using a GPU-accelerated program like Firefox, my desktop occasionally renders through the application (e.g., the wallpaper becomes visible behind it). I am using KDE Plasma 6, and this issue does not occur when using driver version 565.77.

To Reproduce

Use driver version 570.124.04 on a Desktop Environment like KDE Plasma 6, use a monitor with a refresh rate of 240hz, open a gpu accelerated program like firefox and open for example youtube (sometimes scrolling seems to increase the effect)

More Info

I am also using a 4k Monitor and hdr is turned on, however i dont think this influences the problem. Also i should mention the visual "glitches" appear only in the lower right corner of my screen

Start with the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and the reproduction details for KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland at 240Hz. Compare behavior between driver versions 570.124.04 and 565.77 while using Firefox or another GPU-accelerated application. Done means the lower-right rendering artifacts can be reproduced, narrowed to the open kernel module, and verified as fixed or clearly characterized.
