Improved Hyprland performance when using old nvidia graphics cards ( Driver version 470 and earlier)

[daudangson]

This is disable your nvidia card. Because wayland didn't support 470 anymore.
This is my computer configuration

In your /etc/default/grub change

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nvidia,nvidia_drm,nvidia_modeset modprobe.blacklist=nvidia,nvidia_drm,nvidia_modeset"

My /etc/default/grub

Next editing .config/hypr/UserConfigs/ENVariables.conf like this

#environment-variables
env = CLUTTER_BACKEND,wayland
env = GDK_BACKEND,wayland,x11
env = QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR,1
env = QT_QPA_PLATFORM,wayland;xcb
env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt5ct
env = QT_SCALE_FACTOR,1
env = QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION,1
env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,Hyprland
env = XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP,Hyprland
env = XDG_SESSION_TYPE,wayland

# vulkan
#env = WLR_RENDERER,vulkan

# firefox
env = MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND,1

# NVIDIA 
# This is from Hyprland Wiki. As a start, WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS 1 will be activated if nvidia gpu detected
#env = WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS,1
#env = LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME,nvidia 
#env = __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME,nvidia
#env = GBM_BACKEND,nvidia-drm 

#env = WLR_DRM_DEVICES,/dev/dri/card0

#env = __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD,1 
#env = __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus,NVIDIA_only
#env = WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC,1
#env = NVD_BACKEND,direct

# FOR VM and POSSIBLY NVIDIA
#env = WLR_RENDERER_ALLOW_SOFTWARE,1

# nvidia firefox (for hardware acceleration on FF)?
# check this post https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver#configuration
#env = MOZ_DISABLE_RDD_SANDBOX,1
#env = NVD_BACKEND,direct
#env = EGL_PLATFORM,wayland

Then sudo reboot
