When I couldn’t get CUDA to work immediately this morning to speed up my OCR job (≈17 000 scanned documents), I hedged my bets and started it on the CPU of this machine (not the GPU): https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2025-05-15-my-2025-high-end-linux-pc/
Turns out that finished while I was at work (in ≈4 hours, consuming roughly 300W constantly, so 1.2kWh in total), so now I don’t have to figure out how to get CUDA to work to make this task any faster :P
