I play a few native games and ones using proton. After playing for about 30 minutes in any of them suddenly my frame times skyrocket from 6ms to ~60ms. Restarting the game always fixes this. Any ideas what to look for? nvtop seems to show normal usage and I don’t see anything abnormal in journald.
Some info about my setup: Arch/endeavourOS, KDE wayland, nvidia 3060ti with proprietary drivers, 3 monitors (1440 165hz, 1080 165hz, 1080 75hz). Games I play are CS2, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch 2, Lethal Company.
Anything odd with temperatures or power draws perhaps? nv-top shows both for me (but I run an AMD GPU + non-proprietary drivers), otherwise lm-sensors might be good.
Neither the GPU nor CPU utilisation change at the 30 min mark? If one is pegged at 100% then it’s probably hard to work out what is going on. Running a singleplayer game staring at a wall and configured with limited framrate might let you run both the CPU and GPU at less than 100%, perhaps making it easier to see if one or the other suddenly changes.
