2. Sometimes video hardware acceleration just doesn't work. Now I do

I have a nVidia RTX 3070 Ti.
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.
I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems. It does make me wonder
though if the discrete video card (nvidia) is the cause of some/most of
these problems.
They don't happen in X11 though.
