Limit GPU usage

Hey guys :)

Is there a way to limit GPU usage? As in "command" DS to use 80% of this GPU power/memory and 70% of that GPU power/memory?

    Not as far as I know, no.

    Too bad :( It would've been a useful feature.

    I've been asking for it for years for memory usage. The more memory you have it seems the more it uses.

    With me, the second GPU in the new PC is located too close to the case side panel AND too far from the airflow. Hence, the VRAM temperature is over 100 degrees Celsius when rendering. Sure, it's the 3090's known issue, but since it's already installed and used, I want to find some solution to the heat problem. Since DS doesn't have the GPU load limit feature, I'll probably have to make and install a custom rack for one or two more fans. That's definitely doable, but simply "telling" DS to use less of the second GPU power would have been much handier :)
