Title:
Strange screen behaviour with tearing
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-410 package in Ubuntu:

Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
It's a known issue the amount of screen tearing when using the Optimus NVIDIA
card, and with PRIME sync this is partially fixed, but the games are unplayable
due to the input lag.
But I'm figuring out another issue that I'm not sure about what the cause can
be.
I'm getting solid fps in games, but they feel choppy and different
from Windows even with the same fps, tested in a lot of games, I don't
know if that has something to do with the screen tearing but they look
like false fps drops or a screen refresh rate issue, I'm 100% sure
that they are not fps drops, the fps are stable, so that's why I think
it could be extreme screen tearing or refresh rate, this is very
annoying when you play games.
Screen tearing is obviously occurring also in Windows, but in there it
doesn't feel choppy as when playing on Linux.
Same games on my non-prime desktop, with the same NVIDIA driver feel a
lot different.
