Try Lts kernel ? ,ru n sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers nvidia-lts and reboot, if it still doesn’t resolve then run sudo pacman -R linux-lts linux-lts-headers nvidia-lts && sudo pacman -S nvidia to roll back any made changes.
Switched to lts kernel, but same thing.

you can’t, some applications have settings for it, for SDL and Wine you need the right version, for electorn and chromium you need to set the --ozone-platform flag to wayland (do it via commandline, not via chrome://flags) most applications that do support native wayland auto detect it.
You could also try the beta 555 dkms driver from aur, see if that helps.
Try downgrading the nvidia driver package by running sudo downgrade nvidia and choose the 545 drivers. Upon asked for adding the package to IgnoreList, type in yes. Be on X11 until the 555 drivers release.
How come the older drivers are better?
(I’ll try later and do the same tests and report back)
Smol but dangerous bugs that the 550 drivers have but the 545 don’t.

but it resulted that I could neither boot from the lts kernel nor the current kernel. It was stuck on “(…) Graphical Interface”.
I’ve reverted to previous state.
I now investigated in the dmsg and saw red output of [drm:drm_new_set_master] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership, which I will look for now.
// edit2
I found that it is an expected “warning”. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-21-10-failed-to-grab-modeset-ownership-with-495-44/193867/37

I created a video to showcase the issue.
this example is in 60hz, but my monitor usually is set to 144hz - which has the same issues. (ive tested any listed Hz and it stutters like that occassionally).
I’ve uninstalled nvidia and moved to nvidia-dkms - already had the boot parameter in grub config anyway. Much better now, no issues anymore.
Yes with the lts kernel , the nvidia-dkms package should be used. Issue solved ? If yes then mark is as solved.
I have nvidia-dkms installed and I still have stutters on x11. At the moment I am waiting for KDE 6.1 and hoping that it will fix stutters in x11. Wayland works smoother but I also have flickering so for that waiting for stable NVIDIA 555.
Downgrade dkms package to 545 ?
Didn’t help, and lost performance in some games. Not like it’s a serious problem, what right know bugs me is that desktop icons positions do not get saved after reboot, everything is placed randomly around the desktop. On Wayland icons seem to stay so it more like a x11 problem. I will wait for NVIDIA 555 for stable Wayland support and KDE 6.1.
