I have been dealing with frame drops and not-so-smooth video since I updated the NVIDIA driver to version 515 on my Pop_OS! install on Thinkpad Extreme Gen 2 (last "good" version was 460). I thought of trying another DE to see if that makes any difference and with KDE, even though the graphics issues are somewhat still there, the performance is a definite improvement. I thought of trying KDE because I heard all good things about it and it has indeed been a joy to use. Now if only NVIDIA had the ability to produce some decent drivers for Linux...

I generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf using "nvidia-xconfig" (it directly writes to this location so backup your existing conf in that location, if it already exists). Then I added the "ForceCompositionPipeline" option to the section for nvidia: Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "ForceCompositionPipeline" "1" EndSection Rebooted and the jankiness was gone and everything was totally smooth. Google "ForceCompositionPipeline" if you want to get more into it.
