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.

    Mint 21.3 might be a bit too ‘stable’ for your new GPU.

    Linux graphics move fast. You generally won’t have a good experience with an older distro and a brand new GPU.

        There’s not really an upgrade path from Mint to a rolling release distro like Fedora or Arch. The simplest thing to do is rsync -axHAX your /home directory onto external storage and then install Fedora, Bazzite, Arch or EndeavourOS and copy data back as needed.
