As a simple user you can acces to /sys/class/drm/ which gives you many informations about all the gpus in your system.
They are listed as card0 card1 and so on..
I'm using Radeon VII as a simple user you can get many informations from your GPU.
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent gpu core usage.
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/mem_busy_percent gpu memory usage.
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/mem_info_vram_used memory used.
Under /sys/class/drm/card*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/ many more informations are available such as temperature, voltage, frequency
I strongly recommend to you to get a tour of the /sys/class/drm directories and see all informations you can read as user.

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: AMDGPU_TOP - tool to show AMDGPU usage
March 17, 2023 -
I am currently working on a tool that will be the successor to radeontop.
clbr (the author of radeontop) has been busy and radeontop has not been able to keep up with the changes in the latest generation of AMD GPUs.
https://github.com/clbr/radeontop/pull/93
I also aim to create simple and easily extensible applications in Rust.
I would be happy to receive your comments and suggestions.
Thanks!

`amdgpu_top`: A Modern `radeontop` Alternative :: Casey Primozic's Notes
August 23, 2023 - I’ve been using a tool called radeontop for years to monitor the performance and utilization of my AMD GPUs on Linux. It’s a TUI-based application that renders the value of different performance counters as bar charts: For the most part, it does a good job and it provides a concise overview of GPU utilization.

Hi, As far as I know, AMD do not provide a GUI on Linux for my R9 Fury X/Fury/Nano Cards on Ubuntu 16.04LTS. I have asked when one will be available but I get no answer. Does anyone know of a good working GUI solution to control and monitor my AMD cards? Thanks. More on forum.level1techs.com

You can install the command line utility "radeontop" to check the status of radeon graphics cards. You can install it using sudo apt install radeontop and run it using sudo radeontop
