Solution

nvtop — Interactive ncurses-based GPU process and status viewer for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs. See also: amdgpu_top, radeontop. More information: <https://manned.org/nvtop>.

Launch the interactive GPU monitor:

nvtop

Set the update delay in tenths of a second (for example, 2 = 0.2 seconds):

nvtop {{[-d|--delay]}} {{2}}

Run in monochrome (no color) mode:

nvtop {{[-C|--no-color]}}

Use Fahrenheit for temperature display:

nvtop {{[-f|--freedom-unit]}}

Always show encoder/decoder meters, disabling auto-hide:

nvtop {{[-E|--encode-hide]}} -1

Show a single combined bar plot instead of per-GPU plots:

nvtop {{[-p|--no-plot]}}

Show the program version:

nvtop {{[-v|--version]}}
