Keep an Eye on Your GPUs: A Quick Guide to NVTOP on Linux
Have you ever used tools like top or htop to monitor your CPU performance? NVTOP does the exact same thing, but specifically for your graphics cards!
Whether you are using NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel GPUs, NVTOP acts as a powerful task manager. It provides a beautiful, color-coded visual dashboard right inside your terminal where you can track live graphs of your GPU workload, VRAM usage, temperatures, fan speeds, and power consumption. You can even use it to easily find and safely shut down broken or stuck processes.
I recently published a complete guide on how to get this amazing monitoring tool up and running on your Linux system. The guide covers:
The basic prerequisites you need before starting.
How to update your package lists.
Specific installation instructions for Ubuntu/Debian, Arch Linux, and Fedora.
How to launch and exit the NVTOP dashboard.
