FLOPs utilization is arguably the industry standard metric for efficiency right now and it should be a good first approximation of how much performance is left on the table.

But if you mean the reported utilization in nvtop is misleading I completely agree (as someone who uses it daily).

I’ve been meaning to dig into the source/docs to see what’s going on. The power usage seems to be a more reliable indicator of actual hardware utilization, at least on nvidia gear.

I'd argue GB/s memory bandwidth is more worried about at the moment.
