hybrid GPU problems/questions

OK so i'm running into some weird issues with multiple monitors, where the processes from KDE Plasma sometimes start using a good chunk of GPU resources (spiking PCI-GPU usage up to 50%), this happened especially if i am running other video (like YT or twitch) but also happenes whenever something changes on my side monitors, be that a window popping up or the discord chat updating with a new message or literally whatever else. this ofc causes the game i'm running on my main monitor to stutter, a Lot.

i've checked with system monitor and made sure the other programs/processes i'm using does not use hardware acceleration and aren't using GPU resources, but i have no way of doing the same for KDE, (which is gathered under "background Services" as an application, but is "plasmashell", "Xwayland", "plasma-system monitor" and so on, under processes)

now what i want to do, is use configure these "background services" to use my IGPU, CPU, and RAM for its computing, instead of using my PCI-GPU and Vram.
Is there any way to do this?

hybrid graphics are enabled in bios.
and the issue seems to be a little random where a reboot sometimes fixes the issue for a while, and sometimes it does not.
