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.

Nvidia driver's version? 565.57.01 has memory leaks.

I've got 565.77 so I think it can't be that

Still fresh from the oven, you might want to notify Nvidia of the issue in their forums. I think there's still issues with memory and they might be preparing for full Vulkan support and it still need to drop in the next Mesa driver.

It seems like those posts are about freezing or crashes. This is more of a degradation I would say.
