sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 75

Warning: persistence mode is disabled on device 00000000:26:00.0. See the Known Issues section of the nvidia-smi(1) man page for more information. Run with [--help | -h] switch to get more information on how to enable persistence mode.

sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pm ENABLED

Enabled persistence mode for GPU 00000000:26:00.0.

All done.
