Title, I am unsure if games are using my GPU or if using my CPU, or maybe my GPU through my CPU, I do not know, something is using my GPU, but I think its just KDE plasma, and I would like to know definitively how to find out

    Since you’re on KDE, plasma-systemmonitor should already be installed. It is the closest to the Windows task manager that you’re probably familiar with.

      I’ve always had to manually add my GPU to system monitor, and since I’ve always had integrated GPU as well, had to sort out which GPU is the dedicated GPU before knowing what service is using which GPU. But this definitely is my favorite method once I get it all set up, makes it really clear if a steam game is using the wrong GPU
