GPU horsepower

[acoustic topaz]

Hey guys, I have a noob question

1. How do I know if my Nvidia card (RTX 2060) is being used?

I recently started a new instance of immich, with all the hardware transcoding and machine learning enabled, cuda libs installed, etc (per immich docs installed via docker compose)

I added an external library an monitored the scan process, my system monitor showed my CPU pegged at 100% but my GPU was acting normal (12 to 30%) fluctuating. No video encoding was reported by the GPU.

I did change settings to allow hardware encoding inside of immich.

My system:

Ryzen 5 2600X
RTX 2060
Pop!_Os 22.04
