I get very good fps in every game I play on my 2080ti that's very much not new. I've had to download a fix for one game I have, and Sony doesn't allow multiplayer in Ghost of Tsushima, but every other game literally loads and runs better than they ever have. 100fps+ in most games, and maybe less than 60 in the most intense. Arch + kde + Wayland is easily the best computing experience I've ever had.

I didn't say Wayland had bad performance, if you read I said that x11 has better performance. For Wayland being new and more modern it should not underperform and dude just fucking look benchmarks online, you have internet.

Here this one is for free, how you candy read. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/wayland-vs-x11-performance-amd-graphics.html

I've had no performance degredation moving to Wayland after the aformentioned update. I read what you said. I've noticed no difference in performance, and anyone that's fretting about 120 fps vs 110 fps is just splitting hairs for the sake of be being pedantic. I concede that there are some features that don't exist that don't apply to me and the vast majority of users, but for most of us, Wayland is just as good if not better in some common aspects.

No need to be hostile my dude. Chill.

Well I don't have GTX 2080ti, and I don't like my computer sounding like wind turbine for playing a 7 year old game, so those performance benefits means something to me.
