Request It would be extremely beneficial to be able to monitor the GPU memory junction temperature on Linux through nvidia-smi or the NVML API. Background With the latest RTX 3080/3090 series cards using GDDR6X there are growing concerns relating to the temperature of the memory junction. It has …

Now that everything is uncovered we can talk. Tell me why did you do it? It was just a joke :-| I will have to buy a water cooler as I cannot see how hot the card is.

Please add this much needed feature

What’s worse than spending $3500+ on a GPU because it can’t be had anywhere near MSRP? Finding out the memory thermal throttles under load and spending more money to replace the thermal pads. Being able to see how hot the memory is running under Linux would definitely be appreciated.

Hey Nvidia! Are you still listening? I just spent $12k on 3090 GPUs and I’m tired of the excuses. It was said this issue was being prioritized a month ago and still haven’t seen any progress. When can we expect it?

Nvidia has some of the best developers in the industry and I can’t imagine it would take an experienced dev long to get this working. Making this feature readily available is really a win/win for Nvidia. It would significantly reduce the questions and criticism around throttling or performance anoma…

That’s great news! Is it possible to have a rough time estimate? Will it be days, months or perhaps more? Looking forward to your insight.

So from the archive of releases here Linux AMD64 Display Driver Archive | NVIDIA it seems that updates have become pretty frequent over the past 2 months (roughly 7-10 days between each update). It might be a bit naïve to assume it’s coming in the next release, but it’s probably a good sign that the…

Happy to hear. Thanks for the update.

It is prioritized and is assigned to an engineer. The functionality should come in a future release.
