NixOS Foundation does not cache CUDA versions of packages because of the unfree license. This means if you do not have the [[CUDA#Setting up CUDA Binary Cache|CUDA Binary Cache]] set up, your machine will be compiling Blender from source. Compiling Blender is very resource-intensive, so if you are unable to use the CUDA Cache, it is recommended to limit the number of cores or jobs that the process will take with the <code>--max-jobs</code> / <code>-j</code> and <code>--cores</code> flags whenever calling a command that will be building Blender, see: [https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/doc/manual/source/advanced-topics/cores-vs-jobs.md Tuning Cores & Jobs] for more information.
If installing Blender with <code>cudaSupport</code>, it is highly recommended you set up the [[CUDA#Setting up CUDA Binary Cache|CUDA Binary Cache]]. If you do not have it set up, and install Blender with <code>cudaSupport</code>, your machine will be compiling Blender from source.  
 
Compiling Blender is very resource-intensive, so if you are unable to use the CUDA Cache, please see the associated warning and information in [[CUDA#Enabling CUDA In Packages]].
