github.com/ProjectPhysX/hw-smi - A minimal, cross-compatible CPU/GPU telemetry monitor with accurate data directly from vendor APIs and beautiful ASCII visualization

How much VRAM bandwidth does an application or a game pull? Is the traffic over PCIe a bottleneck? What's the CPU/GPU load, RAM/VRAM occupation, temperatures, power draw, clock frequencies? hw-smi works with all CPUs and all Nvidia/AMD/Intel GPUs, on both Windows and Linux.

There are lots of cool hardware monitoring tools already - but they all are either OS-specific, only for CPU or GPU, only for one particular vendor's GPUs, and none of them tell you the VRAM/PCIe bandwidth to give clues about application bottlenecks. 2 years ago I thought to myself: I can do this better. Now I share this powerful tool with the world, for free. Have fun!

My new tool for hardware monitoring is out, and it supports all Intel Arc (Pro) GPUs!

Gifs below show hw-smi on my Frankenstein Nvidia+AMD+Intel GPU test rig, loaded with a FluidX3D multi-GPU CFD simulation on all 3 GPUs. Look at all the counters go brrr!

\"hw-smi -g\" shows usage overview as ASCII graphs

\"hw-smi -b\" shows all available counters as bars
