Firefox Webrender hardware accelerated stuttering a lot on Arch Linux with Nvidia card
When hardware-accelerated Webrender is enabled, the stuttering while watching a video and scrolling is incredible. Not only that, moving tabs to the left or right is laggy too. A workaround to fix this is `gfx.webrender.software` to true. Can anybody explain me why Firefox is using the GPU but is slower than when it's not using it?

That's very possible with NVidia GPU due to its drivers. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535716 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1753237 .
Try to update the nvidia-driver.
