I can remember this being a thing back in the day where the GPU could be switched into compute or GPU modes.
Folks used it with folding@home and mining back then.
Is this still a thing or would I need to dig out really old driver’s to test this feature on say a 3090?
Anyone know what the last driver version to have this feature?
Cheers,

The 466.27 for me on an RTX 2070 Super allows to switch to the studio drive, which I think it’s what you’re talking about.
A colleague reckons he uses his 2070 for cuda workloads (AI/ML), and he just mentioned as such this morning.
I haven’t heard him complaining about it, he uses it for gaming also.
I had no problems installing CUDA on Windows, together with the newest Game Ready Drivers for my 3090. I only ran the examples shipped with CUDA until now, but they seemed to run perfectly well.
Profiling works with the correct privileges or options available in the Game Ready driver as well.
I only suspect that breakpointing will not work. But this is more likely when the same GPU is responsible for display output at the same time, not because of the gaming driver. The last time I tried that (with a GTX 980 ti), Windows wisely refused. Linux however, seemed to stop the whole card in its tracks which basically froze all monitors, including mouse pointer. (The system took 15 minutes to fully recover from that…)
