GPU not being utilized by games

I have noticed a reduction in performance in multiple games. I believed it to be the version of proton but now I can confirm after a third game (Deadlock -> WoW -> Schedule 1) having insanely poor performance something weird is going on. I can see Schedule 1 in

nvidia-smi
print out, btop shows VRAM being used, but GPU utilization is sitting around 15%-20%. I have tried ProtonGE, Wine Staging tkg 10.7 (for World of Wacraft), and Proton 10.

Currently in Schedule 1 I am getting 10fps whereas I normally have stable 120+. I can reboot into Windows and confirm no issues.
