Nvidia and vsync

Nvidia RTX3090 always boot with vsync enabled, which I don't want. It isn't persistent if I change it in the nvidia-settings application.

I can make it persistent with a quick bash script set to run at boot (XFCE4)

#!/bin/bash

sleep 30
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a 'SyncToVBlank=0'
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a 'AllowFlipping=0'

which does the job, but seems like useless crud.

EDIT - the sleep is to make sure that everything has time to load up.

Is there a cleaner way to make vsync=off persistent?
