GTX 1070 + Ubuntu 24 -> various problems with every driver
NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version
Almost all of them, see details
Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.
- [ ] I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.

Describe the bug
I'm using Wayland.
There are two bugs here, but I'm putting them into the same report, as they may be linked.
1. Every driver except 550 (proprietary) has this bug:
CSS animations, CSS filters and canvas are slow, jerky and they max out GPU Process in the browser.
A couple of sites to test on:
- https://race.poker/#/tables See Task Manager - it should show 230-240 for CPU. Click the gear icon on the top right of the site - a popup will appear, but the animation is jerky These are both caused by CSS filters/animations
- https://studio.quicksave.fi/#home There is a canvas there and Task manager should show 850 for CPU, while also the canvas being slow to use
Neither of these problems don't happen on 550-proprietary. They happen on every other driver from 520 onwards, open/proprietary.
2. VS Codium on 550 proprietary
Because of the strange coincidence that this error happens on just 550 proprietary (which worked on the above bug), I put the this other bug into the same report, seems like it could be linked.
The rendering in VS Codium seems broken. Scrolling blacks/blanks out the codium's window from time to time and editing the strangely slow. I tried with hardware acceleration disabled as well, with the same results.
To Reproduce
See above.

I have done this: sudo apt-get install libnvidia-egl-wayland1 as suggested here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514352/ubuntu-24-04-with-nvidia-driver-libegl-warning-egl-failed-to-create-dri2-scre
glxinfo returns empty for EGL:
ile@ilepc:~$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 570.133.07
ile@ilepc:~$ glxinfo -B | grep "EGL driver"

I'm sticking to 550 and using VSCodium with codium --ozone-platform=wayland and smooth scrolling enabled.
I don't have any issues with this combo, but took long to figure out.
