radeontop - Man Page
tool to show GPU utilization
Examples (TL;DR)
- Show the utilization of the default AMD GPU:
radeontop - Enable colored output:
radeontop --color - Select a specific GPU (the bus number is the first number in the output of
lspci):radeontop --bus bus_number - Specify the display refresh rate (higher means more GPU overhead):
radeontop --ticks samples_per_second
Synopsis
radeontop [-chmv] [-b bus] [-d file] [-l limit] [-i secs] [-p device] [-t ticks]
Description
RadeonTop shows the utilization of your GPU, both in general and by blocks.
Supported cards are R600 and up.
Options
- -b, --bus bus
If you have multiple cards, use this parameter to select a specific one. For lspci output 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller, bus would be 1.
- -c, --color
Enables colorized output.
- -d, --dump file
Instead of displaying the data, dump it to file. Use - for stdout. The file is appended to, so it’s safe to specify the same filename for consecutive runs.
Use SIGTERM or SIGINT for graceful termination.
- -h, --help
Displays help.
- -i, --dump-interval seconds
Wait for N seconds between data output.
- -l, --limit limit
Quit after dumping limit lines. Only valid in dump mode. Default is to dump until terminated; use SIGTERM or SIGINT for graceful termination.
- -m, --mem
Forces the use of the /dev/mem path, in case autodetection fails. Useful for the proprietary driver.
- -p, --path device
Open the DRM device node specified by device path. Usually it is located at /dev/dri/card0 or /dev/drm0. If this option used, --bus and --mem are ignored.
- -t, --ticks ticks
How many times per second to sample the data. The default is 120. Higher numbers mean more accurate output and more overhead.
- -v, --version
Displays the program version.
Interactive Commands
- C, c
Toggle colorized output.
- Q, q
