bug
### NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
570.124.04
### Please confirm this … issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.
- [ ] I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.
### Operating System and Version
NixOS 24.11 (Vicuna)
### Kernel Release
Linux nixos 6.13.4-cachyos #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Feb 21 13:11:21 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
### Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.
- [x] I am running on a stable kernel release.
### Hardware: GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
### Describe the bug
When my refresh rate is set to 240Hz and I'm using a GPU-accelerated program like Firefox, my desktop occasionally renders through the application (e.g., the wallpaper becomes visible behind it). I am using KDE Plasma 6, and this issue does not occur when using driver version 565.77.
### To Reproduce
Use driver version 570.124.04 on a Desktop Environment like KDE Plasma 6, use a monitor with a refresh rate of 240hz, open a gpu accelerated program like firefox and open for example youtube (sometimes scrolling seems to increase the effect)
### Bug Incidence

### More Info
I am also using a 4k Monitor and hdr is turned on, however i dont think this influences the problem. Also i should mention the visual "glitches" appear only in the lower right corner of my screen
Basically if youre on high refresh rate(eg 240hz) your wallpaper will render through your fullscreen applications (only in the bottom right corner) frequently. In the Github issue there is also a video attached.
