State of Wayland gaming with Nvidia RTX? Is it good, or stick with Xorg? (lemmy.ml)

Is wayland ready for gaming with nivida RTX series? I have RTX 3060 Ti. I wouldn't mind messing with it to make it work if I have to.

Would want to use a window manager like sway or river.

Depending on your desktop environment, it might actually be very easy and safe to test by yourself. I am using KDE Plasma, and after installing wayland (I installed the plasma-wayland-session package on Arch), I am able to select wayland instead of X11 just before logging to my session. In my case it's completely broken though, I have a lot of freezes, glitches, etc. that make wayland completely unusable and I have the same graphic card as you. However, because it is as easy to switch back to X11 as to select X11 in the dropbox before logging to my session, it is not a big deal.
