gnome-nvidia-extension

A Gnome extension to show Nvidia GPU information (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1320/nvidia-gpu-stats-tool/)

Supported Gnome versions

The "master" branch supports only Gnome v45+. For older shell versions, please check out the "legacy" branch.

Requirements

The extension requires nvidia-smi, which should be included with the drivers. Additionally, nvidia-settings is supported as a data source.

If you still use Bumblebee, the data can also be sourced through optirun (this is untested and may be deprecated in future versions).

Installation from git

git clone https://github.com/ethanwharris/gnome-nvidia-extension.git
cd gnome-nvidia-extension
make
make install

Restart gnome shell to load the extension:

• On Wayland, log out and back in.
• On X11, you can also use alt + f2, r, Enter to reload more quickly.

Afterwards, you can enable the extension in gnome-extensions.

Selecting Properties

By default, no measurements are displayed in the menu bar. You can open the dropdown menu and select the properties to be shown.
