If you want to change this, create a file called config in the ~/.config/nvidia-system-monitor folder, and add updateDelay followed by the time in ms to this file. You can also see here the total, free and used GPU memory.īy default, Nvidia System Monitor is updated every 2 seconds (2000 ms).

Memory: shows the Nvidia GPU memory utilization, while also showing the average, minimum and maximum memory utilization.

GPU: shows a graph of the GPU utilization, while also showing the average, minimum and maximum GPU utilization.

Processes: shows a list of processes running on the GPU, with the process name, pid, used memory, and more.

The developer says other functions, like the ability to monitor the Nvidia GPU temperature, making the program available in other languages, and more, will be added in the next versions. This Nvidia task manager for Linux is only 12 days old, so it still needs some work. It makes use of the nvidia-smi tool to get the GPU information. Nvidia System Monitor Qt is a new graphical tool to see a list of processes running on the GPU, and to monitor the GPU and memory utilization (using graphs) of Nvidia graphics cards. The nvtop README has instructions for building the tool from source (including the required dependencies) for Debian / Ubuntu, Fedora / RedHat / CentOS, openSUSE and Arch Linux. In that case install it from source, it's quite easy. if you use newer drivers), it won't install because it depends on the specific drivers version that's in the repositories. But if you want to use it with drivers that aren't in the repositories (e.g. Nvtop was recently added to the Ubuntu 19.04+, and Debian buster and sid (contrib) repositories. shows current (live) GPU and memory utilization and frequency, fan speed, power usage, and temperature.shows a graph of GPU and memory utilization.The processes can be sorted and killed from nvtop

shows a list of processes running on the Nvidia GPU, their name, pid, their utilization of GPU, memory and CPU, etc.

GeForce 600, GeForce 800M, and newer should work, but older GPUs are not supported. Since it uses NVML, this command line tool doesn't support older Nvidia GPUs. It uses the ncurses to draw its text-based user interface in the terminal, and it makes use of the NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) to get the GPU information. Nvtop is a (h)top like task monitor for Nvidia GPUs.
