After much googling and experimenting, I can't seem to make these issues > go away... which got me wondering if someone else has experienced any of > these. I don't have a Gentoo system with an Nvidia GPU, but I have the same issue on my Ubuntu machine with its 1650 Super. The "About" page in GNOME's settings application shows that the GNOME shell is using software rendering even though it's listed in the output of `nvidia-smi`. Firefox doesn't use hardware acceleration unless I force it to using settings in about:config, though scrolling is still laggy after that. I just conceded and switched back to X11. Everything's been running super smoothly since.
