Hi,

I have the same laptop.

Hi, Björn, could you confirm if you have installed the xf86-video-intel driver? Because I'm under the suspicion that maybe the issue comes from it. Being testing for a while without it installed and the problem seems to disappear. I'm interested in confirm this because I also tested that with that Intel driver installed the performance in video-calls is a little superior (less CPU work and less Tº in the iGPU; the NVIDIA dGPU I have turned OFF at the moment). Maybe this can be diagnose and reported and maybe fixed? Thanks a lot!
