Now let's hope for stability! ;-) As for Blender I don't really know as I don't use it. However possibly nvidia-settings can give you a clue. My 465 has 2 GPUs. If you have 2 GPUs but only one is being used then ... 51%, etc. I can watch the GPU clock rates along with thermal stuff from the nvidia-settings gui. Maybe that will show you more about what Blender is doing. There is also nvidia-smi from the command line that gives info also. HTH, Mark
