This is what I am using. Is there a way to change the type C to type G? as I need to use this for blender, so obv type G is better or type C+G. I am also not sure why GID and CID are N/A and GPU is 0, is my GPU even being used?

I can be wrong
as I know Blender use CUDA instead of compute (because way too many bugs in OpenGL shaders)
and to display Blender use OpenGL 4.5

you can click Help-System info in Blender to see your system specs that Blender use

I do not know why you want see G+C in the nvidia-smi
as I saw in my apps G+C displayed for every GLES3.1 application when it does not use any compute, same as every Vulkan app has C+G when app not use compute… so it may be just “decorative value” and not displaying real application behavior
