a handful of gpu questions, but namely how do i see my intel gpu usage? my nvidia gpu had 10% yusage spikes before it flatlines to 0, and my desktop isnt frozen so it cant be using that, but system monitor just says “gpu 2” and doesnt read usage
kwin says its using “gpu: i915,nv_platform,nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch” as well, and im just curious what that even means
also after installing switcheroo i dont see the option to select what gpu to run it on, probably has to do with the question before as it shows 3 drivers
Not sure but I would guess it is using what it needs and winding down, maybe trying to figure out and going nah you don’t need me. I’m guessing mate, for real answers from people smater than me post exactly what is happening and what you hope to achieve. (Was initailly going to answer inside your pc lol, sorry)
was hoping to achieve hybrid graphics but idk how to check if its already setup or not, because its kinda behaving like it is, but until i can see what my igpu is doing i cant really tell
If you are open system montior and it should show what is being used.
If it doesn’t display what expected I would check the optional dependacies to see if I need anthing there (hopefully someone smater than me can help you out more if this)
For Intel GPU, use intel-gpu-tools and run intel_gpu_top as root to monitor the GPU activity during video playback for example. The video bar being above 0% indicates GPU video decoder/encoder usage.
