smplayer select graphic card framerate nvidia

With stock settings for Plasma and the NVIDIA X Server: usr/bin/mpv -no-config -no-quiet -terminal -no-msg-color -input-ipc-server=/tmp/smplayer-mpv-2265 -msg-level=ffmpeg/demuxer=error -no-fs -hwdec=no -sub-auto=fuzzy -vo=x11, -no-input-default-bindings -input-vo-keyboard=no -no-input-cursor -cursor-autohide=no -no-keepaspect -wid=11 -monitorpixelaspect=1 -osd-level=1 -osd-scale=1 -osd-bar-align-y=0.6 -sub-ass -embeddedfonts -sub-ass-line-spacing=0 -sub-scale=1 -sub-font=Arial -sub-color=#ffffffff -sub-shadow-color=#ff000000 -sub-border-color=#ff000000 -sub-border-size=0.75 -sub-shadow-offset=2.As we all know, Plasma experience on X11 with an NVIDIA GPU is not very smooth out of the box at least this was the case for me with latest Plasma (v5.21) on my GeForce GT 710, reading through countless posts and tutorials on how to remedy the stutters and the lags and experimenting with different combinations of settings I finally managed to get a smooth tear-free Plasma working, and to save others from the time-consuming research and the frustration here's what worked for and hopefully for others too.īefore going further, I wanna mention that I did these testing and the experiments on a clean install of the latest KDE Neon stable and NVIDIA proprietary drivers (460.67) and enabled the 'Show FPS' effect just to measure the performance differences and here are the stats:

You're talking about the setting that just says X11 (slow) and has a warning about bad performance? I get a black window with no video progression (the timestamp doesn't increment).
