Dear Manjaro users,
I've been running Manjaro for a few weeks and encountered a weird bug. Whenever I'm using the NVIDIA drivers for my GPU, I get a short freeze around once every second, which renders my system largely unusable. I supposed I'd done something wrong and resorted to the free video-linux drivers, those didn't have the problem, but performance was a lot worse overall (apart from the bug). But today, I did a fresh install and the bug persists, so I guess this might be the right moment to ask.
My GPU is a Geforce GTX 1050 Ti, the problem appears with any of the nvidia-video drivers offered to me by mhwd, namely versions 440xx, 435xx, 430xx, 418xx and 390xx. As I said, I did a fresh install and a full upgrade ("pacman -Syyu"), then installed the 440xx drivers, nothing else.
"inxi -Fxxxz" gives the following:

Thanks in advance, and apologies if the answer is obvious. On my old install, I tried most of the answers to similar questions, without any success, so I did not repeat that on the fresh install.
