Replying to myself in case any poor soul suffering from the same issue sees this. I generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf using "nvidia-xconfig" (it directly writes to this location so backup your existing conf in that location, if it already exists). Then I added the "ForceCompositionPipeline" option to the section for nvidia:

    Section "Device"
        Identifier     "Device0"
        Driver         "nvidia"
        VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
        BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option         "ForceCompositionPipeline" "1"
    EndSection
Rebooted and the jankiness was gone and everything was totally smooth. Google "ForceCompositionPipeline" if you want to get more into it.
