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.

    journalctl doesn’t seem to report any GPU specific errors. nvtop shows no oddities that i could find.

    i found that dragging the preview image on the fps showcase videos in nvidea’s 4060 page makes firefox lag out with a glib-CRITICAL logged to the console. it says

    (firefox:4349): GLib-CRITICAL **: 12:40:07.460: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed
    [Parent 4349, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187
    

    dunno if that has to do with anything tho
