Congrats on getting it running. Now let's hope for stability! ;-) |

As for Blender I don't really know as I don't use it. However possibly |
| 40 |
nvidia-settings can give you a clue. My 465 has 2 GPUs. If you have 2 |
| 41 |
GPUs but only one is being used then ... 51%, etc. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I can watch the GPU clock rates along with thermal stuff from the |
| 44 |
nvidia-settings gui. Maybe that will show you more about what Blender |
| 45 |
is doing. There is also nvidia-smi from the command line that gives |
| 46 |
info also. |
