Help on troubleshooting gpu and network

Support
1

I have a acer travelmate p259-g2-mg with i5-7200u and nvidia 940mx gpu.
This has 2 gpu and i cannot seem to utilise even a percentage of dedicated nvidia gpu(according to nvtop).
I tried on csgo with dri_prime command, that also didn’t helped. MATLAB program reverts to software opengl beacuse it cannot find the gpu. Tried installing both open source and closed source drivers from mhwd one at a time, that also didn’t worked.

The default task manager on XFCE shows cpu and ram usage, but is there a way to monitor gpu, disk and network usage also? Always having around 1mbps usage when connecting to network is a pain on limited data connection.
You can consider me as an absolute noob!.

** To test the r8168 driver:

sudo modprobe -r r8168 && sleep 3 && sudo modprobe r8168 && systemctl restart NetworkManager

** to test GPU
by intel

glxspheres64

by nvidia

prime-run glxspheres64

DRI_PRIME=1 glxspheres64
5

The command ran, but has given no output.
Network is working fine, i just want to know the realtime usage monitor for network, like there is for cpu and ram in task manager.

glxspheres64 command not found.
Prime-run command works on csgo, i am not able to get it working for MATLAB.
