LACT VS radeontop

You can use LACT as an alternative to CoreCtrl. There is also an option to set it manually through the SysFS: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Manual_(default)

I just pushed some UI improvements: PR

LACT can probably work with nouveau if the driver exposes the stats. You can check if `/sys/class/drm/card0/device` contains the information you need.

I remember looking for something like this a long time ago and ended up writing this. My solution is probably overkill for people just looking to configure the fan speed though.

Yeah, I just found (LACT)[https://github.com/ilyazzz/LACT] and was gonna start playing with that. I need to find a good Linux GPU stress benchmark to test it out tho.

Linux - with Terminal, install Radeontop (https://github.com/clbr/radeontop) with sudo apt install radeontop , start with radeontop . It's not cutting edge graphics but it works for me as a tool. I'm experimenting with ai apps in Linux and I need to know what my gpu is doing.

I am currently working on a tool that will be the successor to radeontop.

There's radeontop, which can show some information. That's the only thing I'm aware of.

Take a look at radeontop: https://github.com/clbr/radeontop

No, it doesn't show encode/decode. Some people on this subreddit will tell you it does for whatever reason like they do every time I bring this up, they clearly never used it or something, but no it does not. There is no easy way to see it like on Intel and Nvidia.

AMD has like 2 or 3 different drivers on nix. The default one is the open source driver. If you see the desktop, it's working. Run a game, should perform decently. You don't see the GPU in performance monitor. That's because GPU metrics aren't standard. You'd need other tools to see GPU metrics.

It can get worse depending on what specific aspect of the GPU is being used. Want to check if your computer is properly using hardware encoding/decoding? Well, you're in luck (with CLI tools), nvidia-smi dmon and intel_gpu_top are really good. Unless you use AMD that is, since radeontop still doesn't have a way to expose GPU encoding/decoding.
