Hi Daniel,

I will follow your suggestion and try to find the time to create a new
bug report for the additional issues that occured. That said, since the
drive on this machine suffered from what I wrote above, I decided to
quickly format and perform the steps that you suggested on a fresh
Ubuntu 23.04 install. First of all, I am happy to report that checking
the checkbox for "additional drivers" (proprietary gpu and wifi drivers)
during the installation of 23.04 did in fact successfully and flawlessly
install the proprietary Nvidia drivers this time around - namely the
Nvidia driver 535 that killed my 22.04 installation. This was not the
case the first two times that I installed 23.04, so it seems that we
have already made some progress in this regard.

That said, back to the initial issue:

  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always
  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=never
  CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-dynamic-max-render-time
  
I tried all of these under 23.04 separately per reboot, sadly no change. 23.04 
still shows signs of sluggish or low fps when resizing windows and also when 
opening the overview with a few programs open (Firefox, Software Center, text 
editor etc). Sometimes the overview is buttery smooth, but at some point it 
drops in performance and loses a few fps, just like mentioned in my initial 
post. For example, opening the overview while writing this text I can clearly 
see an fps-drop, but after repeating the process two or three times it becomes 
buttery smooth all of a sudden. The only thing that makes everything super fast 
all the time is when disabling vsync in nvidia-settings -> opengl. Doing this 
results in buttery smooth 60+ fps animations all the time - and no lag when 
resizing windows either. 

I attached the xrandrv.txt that you requested further below.

Please note: I will be formatting this Nvidia powered machine tonight in
order to install another distro onto it, so I won't be able to further
test these things on this particular machine. That said, I want to
reiterate that I will still continue to use Ubuntu on many of my other
computers that are equipped with AMD and Intel gpu hardware. Your triple
buffering vsync patches work beautifully on Amd and even on super low-
end Intel igpu hardware. I love Ubuntu, and I highly appreciate your
personal efforts for everything related to triple buffering / vsync and
more, which is why I am going to be donating a couple of bucks to you
guys this weekend in order to contribute my fair share since
troubleshooting these Nvidia specific issues is too time consuming for
me right now.

Thanks Dan, appreciate all the help!
