Hi There!!! Are you using Conky? I've been experimenting with exposing GPU values to Conky....In talking with another Arc user....he has tried this:
Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the command-line commands you can use to monitor the temperature, memory, and GPU speeds of your Intel Arc-based video card:
To get the temperature of your video card, you can use the following command:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/thermal_zone0/temp
To get the memory usage of your video card, you can use the following command:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/memory/used
To get the GPU clock speed of your video card, you can use the following command:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/clock_mhz
You can then input this information into your Conky script to monitor your video card in real time.
Here is an example of how you can use this information in your Conky script:
${color yellow}Intel Arc-based video card:
${color}
GPU temperature: ${exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/thermal_zone0/temp}°C
GPU memory usage: ${exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/memory/used} MB
GPU clock speed: ${exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/clock_mhz} MHz
This will display the temperature, memory usage, and GPU clock speed of your Intel Arc-based video card in your Conky window.
I hope this helps!
In my case, this resulted in no output, so I started looking in the /sys/class/drm and in my case, I got some output with:
${color3}Temp:${color0} ${exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/gt/gt0/throttle_reason_thermal} °C${goto 145}${color3}Mem: ${color0}${goto 185}${exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/gt/gt0/media_freq_factor} MB
${color3}Freq:${color0} ${exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/gt_act_freq_mhz} Mhz
So, I'm not getting temp readings, but a variable value from: {exec cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/clock_mhz}
That's the best I can offer right now....I play with getting readings now & again. I would be VERY interesting if any of the Intel devs would like to step in here & enlighten us a bit more.......Hint..Hint 😉
