Games Using iGPU but Not My Nvidia GPU

Hi I'm very new to Linux due to a lot of YouTubers talking about Windows 10 support ending, so I thought I want to try it out. I installed Bazzite and I like it so far, but whenever I try to play a game like power world I noticed that my GPU utilization is only 5%. I downloaded LACT to adjust my GPUs clock speeds but I think Palworld is only using my igpu because I'm only getting 20fps.

I know early this month when I tried bazzite there was a button on my taskbar I could click and it would tell me what GPU is being used but now thats gone on this newer version.
Idk what to do cause I tried putting in commands into the steam game properties but none are working.
I really wanna keep linux but I can't play any games like this.

Can I please get help? :<
Solution
Once you have this, make sure youre using your GPU for the app by setting these as your startup commands in the Steam library:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only DRI_PRIME=1! %command%
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only DRI_PRIME=1! %command%
