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.

    I mean, that’s your path forward if you want a current graphics stack. Linux Mint is a Ubuntu derivative, there’s no supported frankendistro that updates everything on your current mint release to current versions of the kernel, drivers, mesa and all the rest of the libraries you want for up to date software support - you get that with a rolling release distro rather than a snapshot distro frozen 6-24mo ago when they cut your current release version.
