Post your .conkyrc files w/ screenshots

Does anyone here know if its possible to get conky to display your gpu and vram usage? Not temps, I don't care about that, can't change it anyway.

That would actually be really useful.

I'm just curious to see how my video card affects preformance, how its being used, maybe off load some stuff from my cpu and ram. But to do that I need to know how much my system uses the card. Plus it would be cool

The only thing I see for GPU is:

nvidia threshold Nvidia graficcard support for the XNVCtrl library. Each option can be shortened to the least significant part. Temperatures are printed as float, all other values as integer. threshold: the thresholdtemperature at which the gpu slows down temp: gives the gpu current temperature ambient: gives current air temperature near GPU case gpufreq: gives the current gpu frequency memfreq: gives the current mem frequency imagequality: which imagequality should be choosen by OpenGL applications

Don't see anything there about GPY memory usage at Conky Variables

But it would be nice to have wouldn't it.

Have a nice day.

For an nvidia card, I use to have this in a conkyrc:

GPU ${hr}

GPU Temp:$alignr ${execpi 60 nvidia-settings -q GPUCoreTemp -t | xargs ~/scripts/GpuColor.sh} C${color}
${voffset 3}Current GPU Clock:$alignr ${exec nvidia-settings -q GPUPerfModes | grep perf=0 | cut -d ' ' -f 7 | cut -c 9-11} MHz
${voffset 3}Current Video RAM Clock:$alignr ${exec nvidia-settings -q GPUPerfModes | grep perf=0 | cut -d ' ' -f 8 | cut -c 10-12} MHz

So, for nvidia, as long as you can call the nvidia-settings command/query correctly, you should be able to get what you want.

Another option might be the dmidecode command (I don't think it's installed by default); not sure if it gives videocard info and, like hddtemp, by default you need to be root to run it.

Yup, and if you could post the results of:

sensors

it would help me too.

CHIMO!

Nope, dmidecode needs to be installed from the repo... and givin the same treatment as hddtemp so it can run without sudo.

dmidecode MAY give the info you want it surely gives TONS of info.

I ran this in terminal to see what info was available:

nvidia-settings -q all

You can get total video memory, but not what's in use, it seems.


@Bruce: here's your sensors output:

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +34.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)  

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +34.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

btw, your email bounces.

Put this together over a month period. Like the outcome. Think it will stay put for awhile. Let me know what you think..

I like that, can you post your .conkyrc?
