Second Screen makes FPS drop on main Monitor

performancebug
Second screen causes FPS drops on main screen

I’ve gotten no where with troubleshooting this so I’m looking for any possibilities on how to fix this.

Currently on latest NVIDIA bazzite, with DUAL GPU with Intel Arc and 5090, (5090 on main monitor, intel Arc A750 second monitor) gaming performance is great and I’ve gotten some of my stuff setup. The issue I have is whenever anything with hardware acceleration (video feeds mostly or browser for example) on the second screen it absolutely kills my FPS on my main screen and makes the audio stutter sometimes and lag the PC pretty bad. Once I close whatever is using hardware acceleration there’s no issue with the PC at all. (Example: Overwatch 240fps, nothing open. If I open OBS or even Firefox on the second monitor, I got down to 110-170fps.) I have noticed that if I move whatever it is from the second monitor to the main monitor the lag goes away.

Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this issue. Any help would be appreciated as I’m trying to switch mainly to Linux.
Edited to update to more accurate information.
