Hmm, we now have two different GPU's mentioned as being negatively affected by the X11 Sync Nvidia patch. However, both of these GPU's are integrated in the motherboard chipset. On top of that, Nvidia has dropped driver support for these GPU's.
I'm thinking about maybe adding some sort of blacklist for 6000/7000 series GPUs or systems with older drivers installed. I'm not really sure if the issue is the GPU or the driver, but it may not matter since users of the older GPUs will be using older drivers any ways. -- You received this bug notification because you
