I got my hands on a system with two RTX 2080Ti GPUs. Somehow, the performance from the GPU is incredibly slow while starting any program.
For example, if i run device query, it takes around 49 seconds to show me the output. Is there anyway I can make this faster. Am I doing anything wrong?

The result from
nvidia-smi topo -m
is as follows:
(base) sayantan@cyan:deviceQuery$ nvidia-smi topo -m
GPU0 GPU1 CPU Affinity
GPU0 X SYS 0-15
GPU1 SYS X 0-15
Legend:
X = Self
SYS = Connection traversing PCIe as well as the SMP interconnect between NUMA nodes (e.g., QPI/UPI)
NODE = Connection traversing PCIe as well as the interconnect between PCIe Host Bridges within a NUMA node
PHB = Connection traversing PCIe as well as a PCIe Host Bridge (typically the CPU)
PXB = Connection traversing multiple PCIe switches (without traversing the PCIe Host Bridge)
PIX = Connection traversing a single PCIe switch
NV# = Connection traversing a bonded set of # NVLinks

Edit 1:
Even the performance in tensorflow, while I initialize my neural network is incredibly slow. Sometimes it takes like a couple of minutes or even more.
Similarly while starting LibreOffice in ubuntu, it takes like 2~3 minutes, and often crashes my DE altogether.
