Getting GPU Information

6,010

The command glxinfo will give you all available OpenGL information for the graphics processor, including its vendor name, if the drivers are correctly installed.

To get clock speed information, there is no standard tool.

  1. For ATI/AMD GPUs, aticonfig --odgc will fetch the clock rates, and aticonfig --odgt will fetch the temperature data.
  2. For NVIDIA GPUs, the nvclock program will fetch the same information.

I am not aware of an equivalent tool for the open source drivers or for Intel or other GPUs.

Other information on the hardware can be fetched from the lspci and lshw tools.

    I have a Dell Laptop. I Want to find GPU Info (Ubuntu 14.04).

     lshw -C display
    
     *-display               
           description: VGA compatible controller
           product: Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics
           vendor: Intel Corporation
           physical id: 2
           bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
           version: 09
           width: 64 bits
           clock: 33MHz
           capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
           configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
           resources: irq:46 memory:f6000000-f6ffffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:f000(size=64)
    

    THe about:gpu tab in chrome says:

    GPU0    VENDOR = 0x1002, DEVICE= 0x6604
    GPU1    VENDOR = 0x8086, DEVICE= 0x1616 *ACTIVE*
    

    Now, I am confused. I bought the laptop with a AMD Radeon 2GB Video card.

    Nowhere I see it.

    How to get that information?

    Output of command: lspci -k | grep -iEA3 '3d|vga'

    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 066f
        Kernel driver in use: i915
    00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09)

      Strange, lshw should have printed 2 *-display entries if you have a separate graphics card. Can you run it as root again (sudo lshw -C display) please and compare the results?

      Can you also please add the output of lspci -k | grep -iEA3 '3d|vga'?

      Not only the lspci output, the "GPU0 VENDOR = 0x1002, DEVICE= 0x6604" in Chrome is also showing the AMD GPU, 1002 is the vendor code for AMD, 6604 is the specific card id.
