Too little too late.
Already sold my 3070 and went for an 7900 XT bcs i got fed up with NVidia being lazy
Explicit Sync sounds like some kind of porn syncing program.
I will never buy anything with Nvidia again.
hey look, the yearly “nvidia is finally fixing wayland support” post!
It will not though. Explicit sync is not a magic solution, it’s just another way of syncing GPU work. Unlike implicit sync it needs to be implemented by every part of the graphical stack. Just because Nvidia is implementing it will not solve issues with compositors not having it, and graphical libraries not having it, and apps not supporting it, and so on and so forth. It’s a step in the right direction but it won’t fix everything overnight like some people think.
Also it’s silly that this piece mentions Wayland and Nvidia because (1) Wayland doesn’t implement sync of any kind, they probably meant to say “the Wayland stack” and (2) Nvidia is not the only driver that needs to implement explicit sync.
