Problem only in Opera.

What browsers and versions did you test with? Since Opera is a Chromium-based browser, compare with other Chromium-based browses like Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, Chromium, and the new Chromium-based Edge. The issue might be in Chromium itself. Try Beta, Developer and Canary versions of Chrome too if you have to and take note of what version of Chromium they use. That can help you narrow things down to the major version of Chromium that has the issue.

Also, try Opera Developer at https://www.opera.com/download. Maybe it's a bug that's already fixed.

Instead of disabling hardware acceleration completely, try some of the other GPU options via the command-line. See https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disable-gpu for example. If you can find a single switch that makes things work, that might narrow it down.

Or, try https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#ignore-gpu-blacklist.

Goto the URL opera://gpu and look for an error or workaround that stands out as something that might cause your problem.

Goto the URL opera://flags and maybe mess with some flags that are GPU-related. Reset all flags when done though.

Right-click on Opera's shortcut and set compatibility to a different version of Windows to see if it helps. Try the same directly with Opera's launcher.exe and its opera.exe in the latest version folder too just for good measure.

Test in older versions of Opera to see if you can find a version that starts working fine and report back when it first breaks.

For each version, download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera version.build" on your desktop (or wherever), set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install. These Operas won't interfere with your normal Opera.

See what each Opera does. Don't enable Opera Sync or install any extensions in any of them though. Maybe you can narrow down when the problem started.

When you're done, you can delete all the folders if you want.

What Nvidia GPU do you have and what driver version are you using? Is Win10 64-bit?

What brand and model are you monitors? Which one is the primary? How do you have them connected? (Just in case someone needs to try and reproduce your setup if possible.)

Did this just start with Opera 67?

Does this happen on Opera Stable too (currently at 67.0.3575.53 which is newer than beta) and Opera Developer (at 69 now)?
