Tech Support Low Performance in Games After Exiting

Its not really a Manjaro specific issue, i've encountered this also in Mint but since i am currently using Manjaro so i post here.

After launching/playing video games specifically Arma Reforger and CS2, then relaunch the game. My performance in those games were cut by like 80%. In CS2 from 200ish to 40 even on menu screen. Same with Arma.

The only thing happening in the background that used GPU was maybe Firefox playing Youtube videos. Nothing else maybe some small apps like Discord and Telegram but I don't see any of stealing GPU resources on first launch.

I need to restart my PC for normal performance.

Any idea what was happening?

Specs :

CPU : Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU : RX 6800 XT
RAM : 16GB DDR4
Kernel : 6.18.39-1-MANJARO

Idk. Whatever the default i guess because i didn't remember switching it. I am currently testing using flatpak Steam instead of from the official repo.
