I don't use blender. However, I am enrolled in several boinc projects which use CUDA. Additionally, I use other video transformation software which uses H.264 (NVEnc) encoding. One thing to check to ensure you're using the GPU is to check the temperature. When my system is pretty idle "nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp -t" reports around 45°C . When the GPU is being used by either of the above it runs around 66°C or more. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
