r/gnome on Reddit: [Development] System-monitor: GPU load
August 16, 2017 -

Following a feature request, I've opened a PR to add support for GPU load display in the System-monitor Gnome extension [1].

This is already working and functional for Nvidia GPUs. This post is asking for community help to get this working as well for AMD and intel GPUS, if possible at all.

Ideally, we would have a command that will output the GPU load, and vRAM usage, and we can then parse this information. Example:

intel_gpu_top | grep load

This is obviously a simple example, and it doesn't work as it is. For instance, it requires sudo. On the AMD side, I have no idea what possible commands are available. Any help is appreciated!

Show CPU, GPU, Mem Usage & Temp in Ubuntu Panel without Extension - Open Source Society Malta
March 27, 2026 - Available file system space. Average swap usage. Public Country and public IP address. For example, you may set customize output to cpu: {cpu}, mem: {mem}, gpu: {nvgpu} to show only CPU, Memory, and Nvidia GPU usage, so it will look like: Or set cpu: {cpu} | temp: {cputemp}, mem: {mem}, net: {net} to show CPU usage and temperature, memory usage and network upload/download speed, that will look like: Advanced users can monitor more sensors (such as fan speed, CPU/GPU frequency) that are NOT available in the preferences, by clicking on “New” button and add custom command to report the target sensor data.
