With Chromium 95 and Nvidia 470.74 driver for me hardware acceleration is enabled for canvas, and can be enabled for rasterization. For video decode it can be enabled, but it's VA-API, which is not supported by Nvidia. Vulkan can be enabled. GpuMemoryBuffers is software only.

Actually, that is one the main reasons I get better performance on Chromium is because you can use HW acceleration. I just use some of the settings documented in the Arch wiki.

Firefox isn't terrible, but there is a noticeable startup lag and I get random freezes a lot more often.

Have you tried vulkan? Curious if it offers any performance benefits.
