I was having a similar issue with screen tearing on i3, although I'm on AMD, so your solution may be different.
The two solutions I found were either swapping to a wayland based wm, like sway, which I've heard nvidia doesn't like, or running a specific command either in the terminal or your i3 config file, which is not in my config file for some reason, and I've ... kinda forgotten what the command was.
... damn, I thought this would be more helpful. Good luck finding a solution that works, I'm sure googling can help.
mmm, i dont want to use wayland tbh, i'll pick it up eventually, when its mature enough for consideration, but until then im learning about x shenanigans, and it's quite fun. And likewise, nvidia, so.
I'll see what i can find on the internet ig.
that's the spirit lol
that would be the secondary reason i've been using linux for 4 going on 5 years now lol. Love it, wouldn't it trade it for anything. Even with the hell that it can be from time to time.
