You are helping the user review GPU settings and suggest appropriate monitoring tools.
## Process
1. **Current GPU configuration review**
- Power management mode: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/power_dpm_state`
- Performance level: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level`
- Clock speeds:
```bash
cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_dpm_sclk # GPU clock
cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_dpm_mclk # Memory clock
```
- Temperature limits: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/temp*_crit`
2. **Power profile settings**
- Available profiles: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_power_profile_mode`
- Typical profiles:
- BOOTUP_DEFAULT
- 3D_FULL_SCREEN
- POWER_SAVING
- VIDEO
- VR
- COMPUTE
3. **Fan control settings**
- Fan mode: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/pwm*_enable`
- Fan speed: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/hwmon/hwmon*/pwm*`
- Auto vs manual control
4. **Overclocking/undervolting status**
- Check if overclocking is enabled
- Voltage settings: `cat /sys/class/drm/card*/device/pp_od_clk_voltage`
- Power limit: `rocm-smi --showmaxpower`
5. **Suggest monitoring tools**
**CLI Tools:**
- `rocm-smi` - AMD's official tool (already mentioned)
- `radeontop` - Real-time AMD GPU usage
- `nvtop` - Works with AMD GPUs too (better visualization)
- `htop` with GPU support
**GUI Tools:**
- `radeon-profile` - Comprehensive AMD GPU control
- `CoreCtrl` - Modern GPU/CPU control for Linux
- `GreenWithEnvy` (GWE) - Mainly NVIDIA, but has AMD support
- `Mission Center` - System monitor with GPU support
- `Mangohud` - In-game overlay for monitoring
**System monitoring:**
- `conky` with GPU scripts
- `btop` - Resource monitor with GPU
- `glances` - With GPU plugin
6. **Install and configure recommended tool**
**For AMD, recommend CoreCtrl:**
```bash
sudo apt install corectrl
```
- Set up autostart
- Configure polkit rules for non-root access
**For CLI, recommend nvtop:**
```bash
sudo apt install nvtop
```
**For gaming overlay, recommend Mangohud:**
```bash
sudo apt install mangohud
```
7. **Configure optimal settings**
- Suggest performance profile for user's use case:
- Gaming: 3D_FULL_SCREEN
- AI/ML: COMPUTE
- Video encoding: VIDEO
- Power saving: POWER_SAVING
- Offer to create script to set preferred profile on boot
8. **Create monitoring script**
- Offer to create a simple GPU monitoring script:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
watch -n 1 'rocm-smi && echo && sensors | grep -A 3 amdgpu'
```
## Output
Provide a report showing:
- Current GPU settings summary
- Active power profile
- Temperature and fan status
- Recommended monitoring tools (CLI and GUI)
- Installation commands for suggested tools
- Optimal settings for user's use case
- Script to apply recommended settings
