[BUG] Missing Encoder usage in GPU monitoring tools like amdgpu_top #33

Closed Lassebq closed 4 months ago

Lassebq commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug When recording a video, the encoder graph stays at 0% in amdgpu_top.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

X11 or Wayland: X11
- Desktop environment/Window Manager: GNOME
Distro: Arch
GPU: AMD RX 580
Version (latest flatpak version, aur or source): aur

Additional context drm_info.txt Reproducible for both game window capture and desktop capture

The encoder usage is properly seen when using OBS to record.

This shouldn't be reported here as a bug as its not something that software controls, it's the driver. But I think you should be able to see encoder usage if you run sudo amdgpu_top instead.

Lassebq commented 4 months ago

Hmm. Thanks, that was it. A bit weird that OBS encoder usage can be seen without root permissions

dec05eba commented 4 months ago

I dont know what that is about, its not like the encoder itself is running as root so i dunno :p.

The second image shows amdgpu_top --gui

Oh yeah I just realized it. I didn't know that it had a gui option.
