I have installed NVIDIA driver for GeForce GT 710 by the APT package manager in Debian11.The driver version is 470.103.01.Everything looks good:NVIDIA kernel module holds PCI device;nvidia-smi returns OK.
But when I ran glxgears,I found it was just 400 FPS.glxinfo show that the default OpenGL renderer was llvmpipe,not NVIDIA GPU.
So how could switch the default renderer to dedicated GPU?something would help:
