Switched to Fedora 43. Is my Nvidia GPU active when running games?

So i finally switched my entire disk to Fedora 43 KDE plasma edition bc i'm sick of windows. i have wanted to do it for years but couldn't bc i stumbled into driver issues when i tried dual booting, also needed some apps on windows. i managed to install Elden Ring on lutris, but the performance seem to be way lower than when i used windows which i think is weird bc some people even find Elden Ring to be faster on linux. i'm suspicious that my discrete graphics isn't running, bc some nvidia commands gave me errors.

lutris logs

is my driver installed incorrectly? i tried uninstalling with `sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\*` and reinstalling but it seems to not change anything

- followed everything on the fedora guide on asus-linux website

- i have enrolled MOK bc i needed virtualbox, didn't realize apparently nvidia drivers need signing too..? but yeah i've enrolled the key now.
