Gnome Wayland vs. X.org Performance for Radeon and Nvidia Gaming on Ubuntu 23.04

  Are they really looking only at fps and not latency? Wayland adds an extra frame of latency. This absolutely matters

    Direct scanout resolves that. If you're one of those people that disables vsync, that's being worked on. VRR works well on kwin/Wayland, too. Gnome has fallen behind on that a bit.

    The one frame of latency for synchronization isn't that interesting. You've summarized it well, one frame. The cost of this goes down as the refresh/frame rate goes up. At 144hz this is 6.94ms With that said, I would absolutely love to see fps kept in check with frame times I'm sure you're aware, just saying for the audience: 100 FPS dropping to the floor at fractions of a second feels worse than a consistent 50, but looks great on paper

  > (X)Wayland vs. X.Org GNOME session comparison on Ubuntu 23.04 is in very good shape. So X is having the same performance in Wayland vs native. So what. I don't need wayland.
