I had the same problem on my system with

- AMD Ryzen 5 7600
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

I solved the it by first following [Secure Boot Instructions - Bazzite Documentation](https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/secure_boot/) to enroll the NVIDIA driver & KMOD signing key for secure boot and then creating the following configuration file in my home directory.

`~/.config/environment.d/nvidia.conf`:

```auto
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

```

Now **logout and log back in** and run the following command to confirm that the NVIDIA GPU is being used:

```bash
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

```

A bit late to the party, but I hope this helps out someone! 😅
