A GPU tool for NVIDIA cards on linux

GPUTweak

This app aims to repair the fact there is no proper GPU Tool available for linux users.

Features

• Compact view of useful data in the Information window
• Graphed data in the Stats window
• Easy access to overclocking in the Tweak window (work in progress, currently only fan speed)

Possibles improvements

If you're interested to participate, feel free to open an Issue or submit a Pull Request =)

• Custom skin
• Saved profiles
• Support for other drivers and manufacturers
• Better handling of many cards in the PC

Compatibility

Currently only NVIDIA cards using the nvidia driver are recognised, and only a few recent GPUs have been tested. Feel free to test with your own and give feedback in the Issues.

The app is built to be able to support other cards if someone writes the adapter for it.

Installation

Only requirement is Qt and the NVIDIA proprietary driver, so it should work out of the box on most distribs.

Easy painless way

Download an archive from the releases page, uncompress it wherever you want on your computer and run GPUTweak. Theses archives are generated by the compile-linux-64.sh script on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine and should run on most distribs. Note that I do not offer 32bit binaries, see Compile yourself.

Compile yourself

If the proposed package does not work with your system or you simply don't trust me (I won't blame you, I totally understand) you can download an archive of the repository on the releases page, have a look at the code and run compile-linux-64.sh. Edit it it to fit your system if necessary. This script produces an output folder GPUTweak along with an archive ready to be shared !

How does it work ?

GPUTweak reads and sets properties trough the nvidia-settings command line utility that comes with the nvidia proprietary driver.

See it as an alternative NVIDIA Settings panel with a more user-friendly interface.

Improve or just hack

This app is built using the Qt Framework in Qt Creator, you should be able to edit anything easily.

Help !
