hardware_cursors lower refresh rate on fractionally scaled displays(cursor only)

[DrTeagle]

as title it seems that again on nvidia hardware cursors slows down refresh rate of the cursor. not as bad as it once was but it is still noticable.

[DrTeagle]

running nixos, latest git sorry forgot to mention that. here is config for hyprland:
config.txt
and if for some reason you need the whole config here is my repo
NOTE I havent pushed some changes yet

Bump, I also experience this issue.

[DrTeagle]

is there something I did wrong in creating this discussion post? There has been no response from the dev team so I am thinking they filtered it as spam

[vaxerski]

no, everything is good.

[DrTeagle]

ok, just a suggestion any response is better, even if it is just saying seen.

Same here. GTX 1650 Mobile Max-Q Acer Nitro 5 with i5 11400H.

On the internal monitor, works fine.

When i plug the external, even if use 2560x1440 at 1 scale it just lower the problem a bit. With 3840x2160@60 at 1.5 being the desirable scenario.

I've tested GNOME Wayland and Sway. I can see no problem in the cursor rendering speed. I've plugged on Windows just to see if my monitor or cable is the problem, and there i can see the cursor behaving also with high speed.

I've disabled hardware cursors on external monitor using NVIDIA but it seem take no effect. The HDMI port is connected directly to the NVIDIA card.

Windows cursor is faster than Sway, but Sway seems faster than GNOME, and then Hyprland the slowest.

I game in 144Hz on Windows and forced 60Hz in all scenarios. It's just my user experience.

I've tested both open and closed nvidia drivers, tested stable, legacy and production releases on NixOS.

Also, gived the force flag on Sway, --unsupported-gpu.

Test AQ git and AQ_FORCE_LINEAR_BLIT=1

I've pinned aquamarine to the last commit, so it's a bit ahead of 0.9.1.

Seems to be better rendering now. But only when i enable the env var.

Thank you.

hyprwm/aquamarine@dfe9601

Archlinux aquamarine git is currently on 0.8.x. Using flakes i can use the direct hash like this.

But i need to compile them.

@DockterTeagle may u test it

[DrTeagle]

idk currently updating everything, was moving out of apartment today. Will lyk when I can do it

[DrTeagle]

although I would rather not override hyprland inputs. AFAIK overriding means no cache for you, and that build time will take ages

[rafaeloledo]

Edit:

On 2560x1440@60 1, it's ok

When i use 3840x2160@60 1.5, feels laggy, switched to Sway and it's not.

[rafaeloledo]

Well, i've just stopped flirting with my hybrid NVIDIA/Intel laptop and back using my 5600g.

Cursors are rendering fine with the same speed of Windows and 4K@60 1.5 has no lag.
