Hi all,
I just managed to install the nvidia drivers but somehow when I check the processes my game (Minecraft) is not listed as one and has in game fps of like 2fps. Does anyone know how do I make it that Minecraft uses my gpu?

What edition/spin of Fedora are you using? The KDE Plasma Desktop Edition has a graphical way to trigger an application that isn’t already using it to use a discrete GPU, by right-clicking on the application launcher (Start menu), choosing Edit Applications, and then using the “Run using dedicated graphics card” checkbox:

Other editions may have something similar, or may require editing the command line for a program manually, but it should be possible.

Is it maybe the fact that I didnt manage to make a profile with the nvidia x server settings?

Is the minecraft launcher installed as flatpak? If so, then you must also have matching nvidia libs installed as flatpak. Try running flatpak update.

$ modinfo -F version nvidia
610.43.03

$ flatpak list |grep ^nvidia
nvidia-610-43-03	org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-610-43-03		1.4	system
