High frame times after around 30 minutes in every game (lemmy.ca)

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.

I have seen this as well with a couple games(FarCry 4/5). Also Arch/Plasma 6 with Nvidia 4080. I don't know if it is driver, kwin or dxvk related or something else though.

I haven't figured out how to resolve it either.
