I think you're describing a driver error from before Nvidia really supported Wayland. My 3070 exhibited similar behavior but was fixed with the 555-series drivers.

The Vulkan drivers are still so/so in terms of performance, but the smoothness is now on-par with my Macbook and Intel GNOME machine.

My 3080 still has the occasional hiccup, but from what I've read it's from vsync colliding with Nvidia's gsync?
