i’ve recently acquired a 4060 ti for €300 from a seller that i’ve been told was reliable. after installing the gpu and updating the drivers to the latest recommended ones i’ve noticed odd lag spikes lasting several seconds when using blender, these did not happen when i used my previous gtx 1060 ti.
How can i go about diagnosing if it’s a gpu or driver issue? any benchmarks or tools i should use?

i’m on linux mint 21.3 cinnamon.

    doubt it’s the same problem i’m having because the lag spikes only affect blender, the rest of the DE works fine

      Admittedly, I don’t know much about the ins and outs of GPUs, but perhaps it’s a GTX vs. RTX issue. They’re different enough that the NVK project is targeting only RTX and up.

      I guess the takeaway for me is despite making some strides in last couple years nvidia is still just kinda janky on Linux. Good luck getting to the bottom of it.
