OS: Ubuntu 20.04
My issue:
Dual monitors setup with one 1080p @60hz and another monitor 1440p @144hz. Running on proprietary Nvidia driver 440. Monitor is properly setup at 144hz from display settings and the other one at 60hz. I can clearly see that only the mouse cursor is running at 144hz but other windows ect.. are stuck at 60hz. If I disconnect my 60hz monitor, then the issue is fixed and everything is running at 144hz on my main monitor (cursor + windows).
Here is a xrandr output:

Trying to find a solution on the internet, I understand that this issue has been around for a while with Gnome Desktop. Is there any news / update on it? Any workaround or bug report to Ubuntu team ?
Cheers!
For people having same issue, found a fix from "KermitTheFrogerino" on Reddit:
First add those 2 lines to
/etc/environment
:Then launch Nvidia X Server settings by typing "nvidia-settings" and then disable "Allow Flipping" in the OpenGL menu.
To apply after every reboot, you just need to launch the "nvidia-settings" menu to apply the settings.
