Thanks for this backport, I had also been having issues (though, stability rather than performance) with the most recent 20.09 nvidia driver. |

Motivation for this change
nvidia-x11 versions 450.31 through 455.28 contain a serious performance regression that make my system nearly unusable. This is fixed in 455.38; the relevant changelog entry is "Fixed a performance regression in the NVIDIA X driver which affected some X11 RENDER extension use cases". I'd appreciate seeing this backported to 20.09, given that (absent #99323) it's very difficult to use a custom version of nvidia-x11 without completely forking nixpkgs.
