How is wayland nvidia gaming at the moment?

Several months ago I tried gaming on wayland with nvidia and it was completely broken for me.

EDIT: Two days on wayland nvidia now, both gaming and using NVENC in OBS. It's been amazing.

    I've been gaming with a 2080ti in Wayland for about a year now. I can't say I've had any issues related to my graphics card at all. The only hiccups I've had are with a couple of games, maybe two, that I had to tweak to run. They were known issues with public fixes. It's been a great experience.

    There was an issue a few months back with multi monitor setups. Anytime I changed a monitor input, it would hard lock. It's fixed now.

    Just make sure the kernel modules are enabled and so are the systemd services. Shouldn't have a problem. It's been butter since they released the VRR fix a few months ago

    Could you please guide me to relevant documentation for this?

    For now I'll just start at the Arch wiki for wayland.

    Just that and the Nvidia Linux driver manuals or forums

    I switched to wayland since arch had manual intervention on the latest update for kwin-x11 I decided it was time to take the plunge.

    So far it's actually amazing. In two days of gaming I've had a great experience and OBS has been awesome. I particularly like the pipewire handling of OBS over the x11 window capture.

    I also went through the wayland and nvidia arch wiki pages before I started up my game and it looks like everything is now implemented by the nvidia drivers. I'm happy nvidia might finally be catching up, though, I won't hold my breath as it still looks a little like the absolute bare minimum.

    Games worked for me on Kubuntu, but a lot of other things were seriously broken. Compositor/Desktop effects did not work at all, weird screen artifacts, Taskbar crashes, Discord lags terribly and has display problems. I don't know, if that is going to be the new Desktop experience, we're gonna have a problem.
