In fact, even the installation ISO was similarly laggy/sluggish on the Nvidia output so I did the install with it disconnected and using the iGPU.

That Windows 7 & 10 as well as Ubuntu 20.04 and FreeBSD 13.0 worked on the same hw with the same driver. I know this unsupported tinkerer hardware, but it’s not the cause here.
