The longer I play games on arch the worse the framerate gets. (lemmy.ml)

so I recently dualbooted arch and windows. I have noticed the longer I play game the more the fps drops.

Deadlock for example, I will be getting 110-120 fps then as the match goes on (usually at the 20-40 min mark) it gradually drops to 50fps (I don't know if it will keep going, that is just the lowest I have been able to see it drop)

the outlast trials also gets pretty bad micro stutters.

I have tried reinstalling drivers removing two sticks of ram that seem to be faulty, and reinstalling arch completely with archinstall just to see if I flubbed something up around manual install, I tried the nvidia-open drivers (the ones released by nvidia) and the proprietary drivers. Nothing seems to be working.

When I launch into windows games stay at pretty consistant framerates.

specs:

rtx 3070 ryzen 7 3700x 16gb ram 1tb ssd 2tb ssd 1440p 144hz monitor

Any help is very much appreciated!!

(off topic question but I figured I would ask here as to not create another post. I cannot for the life of me get wayland kde to work properly. It efuses to let me change the resolution and refresh rate. the solution I seem to be finding is that wayland doesnt play nice with nvidia. So I have just been using x11. is this assesment incorrect?)

Nouveau is not appropriate for gaming. NVK is potentially a contender for the RTX and above cards, but it's still in development, so YMMV greatly.

Otherwise, you're stuck with the proprietary drivers. You might see about installing an X11 session, though. I believe Bazzite installs both Wayland and X11 for Nvidia users for this reason.
