I'm using rviz2 on foxy and after a few frames at 30 fps, the fps drops to 0 fps. I checked my eGPU and it is not used at all. Gazebo however is using it. My question is how can force rviz2 to use the GPU?

I tried compiling rviz2 from source but it doesn't help.

Assuming your drivers are installed correctly, you can (in Ubuntu at least) right click on the terminal icon from the applications list and choose to run the terminal with the Dedicated GPU. Launching RViz from that terminal should ensure that it does use your GPU.
