I have very weird issue since xorg-server got updated to 21.1.14-0
After playing any game for about 1-2 hours, whenever i move my mouse cursor fps drops heavily
Restarting game does solve the issue

I can confirm this. I am using KDE Plasma with X11.

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080] driver: nvidia v: 550.120
  Device-2: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 driver: snd-usb-audio,uvcvideo

I haven’t got to test it yet but i think it’s actually this issue with Steam DXVK/VKD3D

If any of your games and/or dependencies; or Steam and supporting packages; were built from the AUR, they probably require rebuilding; just as most AUR sourced apps do, especially after a major component update of Xorg, for example.

Good luck.

My Steam install is from the official Multilib repo, but I’ll try the workaround mentioned on Github when I get some time to play in the next few days

System infos could help:

inxi --admin --verbosity=5 --filter --no-host --width

Btw. Im experience no problems around gaming with my nvidia 2080Ti, LTS Kernel 6.6 and KDE/X11.

Maybe check for memory leak with htop.
