That type of information is non-standard, and the tools you will use to gather it vary widely.



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.



  • For ATI/AMD GPUs, aticonfig --odgc will fetch the clock rates, and aticonfig --odgt will fetch the temperature data.

  • 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 do not know of a direct equivalent, but lshw should give you the info you want, try:

(it also works without sudo but the info may be less complete/accurate)



You can also install the package lshw-gtk to get a GUI.

A blog post focusing on work done on the command-line is here:



http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/



Find out the device ID:



 lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1
03:00.0


You can then use this output with lspci again, forming two nested commands



lspci -v -s $(lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1)


If you have more than 1 GPU card, try this equivalent command instead:



lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1 | xargs -i lspci -v -s



Output from my system:



03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [Quadro NVS 295] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device 062e
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 24
Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Memory at ec000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Memory at f4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
I/O ports at dc80 [size=128]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at f7e00000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: nvidia


EDIT: You can avoid the <access denied> by launching with sudo



So, (prefetchable) [size=64M) indicates that I have a 64-MB NVIDIA card. However, I don't, it's rather 256 MB. Why? See below.



To see how to get the most info and performance out of it, read an extremely comprehensive article on the Arch-Linux Wiki



https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA



For nvidia users, start with



nvidia-smi


(This works with the Nvidia drivers installed,but not with systems running the open-source 'nouveau' driver).

  • This is the only correct answer in on-demand cloud/HPC cluster environment on which glxinfo or lspci both fail (the former because there's no OpenGL and display, the latter because the nVidia graphics card is abstracted by a graphics controller like Matrox G200eW3). The folder name under gpus is 0000:3b:00.0 or 0000:d8:00.0 for me, so we should type: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:3b:00.0/information. The lovely Tesla V100-PCIE-16GB model shows that the qsub job limit is satisfied as desired.

      Conky or Terminal Splash Screen



      I use two methods to automatically display nVidia GPU and Intel iGPU information:



      • Conky dynamically displays GPU information in real time


      • ~/.bashrc displays GPU information each time the terminal is opened


      Conky real time display



      This example uses Conky to display current GPU (nVidia or Intel) stats in real time. Conky is a light weight system monitor popular among many Linux enthusiasts.



      The display changes depending on if you booted after prime-select intel or prime-select nvidia.



      Intel iGPU



      gpu temp intel.gif



      • The Intel iGPU shows as Skylake GT2 HD 530 iGPU with current frequency

      • The Minimum frequency is 350 MHz and the Maximum is 1050 MHz

      nVidia GPU



      gpu temp nvidia.gif



      • The nVidia GPU shows as GeForce GTX970M with current GPU frequency and temperature

      • The Driver version, P-State and BIOS version are displayed

      • The GPU load, RAM use, Power Consumption and RAM frequency is displayed

      Here is the relevant Conky script for Intel iGPU and nVidia GPU:

      ~/.bashrc Terminal splash screen



      This example modifies ~/.bashrc to display information on a splash screen each time the terminal is opened or whenever you type . .bashrc at the shell prompt.



      In addition to neofetch answered previously, there is screenfetch which looks a lot nicer (IMO). Plus another answer mentions he doesn't know how to get iGPU listed and this does it:



      ubuntu terminal splash.png



      For details on setup see: Terminal splash screen with Weather, Calendar, Time & Sysinfo?



      In summary just for the bottom section with Ubuntu display containing GPU information (second last line) use:



      sudo apt install screenfetch
      screenfetch


      You'll want to put the screenfetch command an the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file to have it appear every time you open the terminal.

          This is really not that complex For model and memory, here's a 1 liner that works for every video card I've tested it on regardless of manufacturer (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA):



          GPU=$(lspci | grep VGA | cut -d ":" -f3);RAM=$(cardid=$(lspci | grep VGA |cut -d " " -f1);lspci -v -s $cardid | grep " prefetchable"| cut -d "=" -f2);echo $GPU $RAM



          GPU= All this bit does is grab the 3rd field from 'lspci' output filtered via 'grep' for VGA which corresponds to the video chip.



          RAM= All this bit does is set variable cardid equal to the first field of output from lspci matching "VGA" and feeds that as a request for -v verbose output from lspci for that specific -s device, further filtering the output by grep for the string " prefetchable" as this contains the memory on the card itself (note the preceding space as we don't want to match "non-prefetchable" in our output.



          For clock rate on Intel integrated graphics (Tested on I3 and I5)



          execute the command sudo find /sys -type f -name gt_cur* -print0 | xargs -0 cat
          This dives into the /sys tree to locate the gt_cur_freq_mhz
          file which on my I3 is /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_cur_freq_mhz and prints the content. which in my case under extremely light load is 350 as in 350 MHz which corresponds to the minimum frequency found in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_min_freq_mhz and when running glxgears and glmark2 results in
          1050 as in 1050 MHz which corresponds to the maximum frequency found in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_max_freq_mhz



          For clock rates on nvidia cards:



          nvidia-smi -stats -d procClk corresponds to the GPU clock
          nvidia-smi -stats -d memClk corresponds to the memory clock.



          Note: I am unable to test the above as my trusty GeForce 210 isn't supported and this works only on Kepler or newer GPUs as indicated by
          `nvidia-smi -stats --help'



          I do not currently have any solutions for clock rate on AMD cards and do not have the hardware available for testing. I will however say that to the best of my knowledge the aticonfig mentioned in the accepted answer no longer exists and it appears that nvclock isn't available for anything since trusty.

                  If you have a AMD Radeon Card, you may want to run the following commands



                  sudo update-pciids #optional command, requires internet
                  lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display'


                  It should report something like this



                  00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wani [Radeon R5/R6/R7 Graphics] [1002:9874] (rev c5)

                    For nvidia GPUs, nvidia-smi command is your friend.
                    See man nvidia-smi if you like to.



                    For listing GPUs use nvidia-smi -L (nvidia-smi --list-gpus),
                    nvidia-smi -q give information about the gpu and the running processes.

                        In order to get all the information about the graphics processor, you can use the following command as specified by @greyfade.



                        > glxinfo


                        However, if the program glxinfo is currently not installed, you can install it by typing:



                        > sudo apt install mesa-utils


                        You will also have to enable the component called universe. Once this is done, glxinfo will list all the specifications related to the graphics processor in that environment.

                          If you're looking for only the names of the video cards on the machine, then simply use:



                          $ nvidia-smi --list-gpus


                          For some newer GPUs, this also lists the memory of each device.

                            That type of information is non-standard, and the tools you will use to gather it vary widely.



                            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.



                            • For ATI/AMD GPUs, aticonfig --odgc will fetch the clock rates, and aticonfig --odgt will fetch the temperature data.

                            • 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 do not know of a direct equivalent, but lshw should give you the info you want, try:



                            sudo lshw -C display


                            (it also works without sudo but the info may be less complete/accurate)



                            You can also install the package lshw-gtk to get a GUI.

                            A blog post focusing on work done on the command-line is here:



                            http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/



                            Find out the device ID:



                             lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1
                            03:00.0


                            You can then use this output with lspci again, forming two nested commands



                            lspci -v -s $(lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1)


                            If you have more than 1 GPU card, try this equivalent command instead:



                            lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1 | xargs -i lspci -v -s



                            Output from my system:



                            03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [Quadro NVS 295] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
                            Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device 062e
                            Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 24
                            Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
                            Memory at ec000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]

                            This indicates that I have a 256 MB GDDR3 Graphics card.



                            At this time, I don't know how to get this for Intel and AMD/ATI GPUs.

                            • This is the only correct answer in on-demand cloud/HPC cluster environment on which glxinfo or lspci both fail (the former because there's no OpenGL and display, the latter because the nVidia graphics card is abstracted by a graphics controller like Matrox G200eW3). The folder name under gpus is 0000:3b:00.0 or 0000:d8:00.0 for me, so we should type: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:3b:00.0/information. The lovely Tesla V100-PCIE-16GB model shows that the qsub job limit is satisfied as desired.

                            • This is the only correct answer in on-demand cloud/HPC cluster environment on which glxinfo or lspci both fail (the former because there's no OpenGL and display, the latter because the nVidia graphics card is abstracted by a graphics controller like Matrox G200eW3). The folder name under gpus is 0000:3b:00.0 or 0000:d8:00.0 for me, so we should type: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:3b:00.0/information. The lovely Tesla V100-PCIE-16GB model shows that the qsub job limit is satisfied as desired.

                                              I'm not seeing the video card frequency and memory in this answer. There are far simpler methods to obtain the model of GPU which appears to be all you are giving us. I'm not sure what this adds to the existing answers.

                                                Conky or Terminal Splash Screen



                                                I use two methods to automatically display nVidia GPU and Intel iGPU information:



                                                • Conky dynamically displays GPU information in real time


                                                • ~/.bashrc displays GPU information each time the terminal is opened


                                                Conky real time display



                                                This example uses Conky to display current GPU (nVidia or Intel) stats in real time. Conky is a light weight system monitor popular among many Linux enthusiasts.



                                                The display changes depending on if you booted after prime-select intel or prime-select nvidia.



                                                Intel iGPU



                                                gpu temp intel.gif



                                                • The Intel iGPU shows as Skylake GT2 HD 530 iGPU with current frequency

                                                • The Minimum frequency is 350 MHz and the Maximum is 1050 MHz

                                                nVidia GPU



                                                gpu temp nvidia.gif



                                                • The nVidia GPU shows as GeForce GTX970M with current GPU frequency and temperature

                                                • The Driver version, P-State and BIOS version are displayed

                                                • The GPU load, RAM use, Power Consumption and RAM frequency is displayed

                                                Conky Code



                                                Here is the relevant Conky script for Intel iGPU and nVidia GPU:

                                                            This is really not that complex For model and memory, here's a 1 liner that works for every video card I've tested it on regardless of manufacturer (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA):



                                                            GPU=$(lspci | grep VGA | cut -d ":" -f3);RAM=$(cardid=$(lspci | grep VGA |cut -d " " -f1);lspci -v -s $cardid | grep " prefetchable"| cut -d "=" -f2);echo $GPU $RAM



                                                            GPU= All this bit does is grab the 3rd field from 'lspci' output filtered via 'grep' for VGA which corresponds to the video chip.



                                                            RAM= All this bit does is set variable cardid equal to the first field of output from lspci matching "VGA" and feeds that as a request for -v verbose output from lspci for that specific -s device, further filtering the output by grep for the string " prefetchable" as this contains the memory on the card itself (note the preceding space as we don't want to match "non-prefetchable" in our output.



                                                            For clock rate on Intel integrated graphics (Tested on I3 and I5)



                                                            execute the command sudo find /sys -type f -name gt_cur* -print0 | xargs -0 cat
                                                            This dives into the /sys tree to locate the gt_cur_freq_mhz
                                                            file which on my I3 is /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_cur_freq_mhz and prints the content. which in my case under extremely light load is 350 as in 350 MHz which corresponds to the minimum frequency found in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_min_freq_mhz and when running glxgears and glmark2 results in
                                                            1050 as in 1050 MHz which corresponds to the maximum frequency found in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_max_freq_mhz



                                                            For clock rates on nvidia cards:



                                                            nvidia-smi -stats -d procClk corresponds to the GPU clock
                                                            nvidia-smi -stats -d memClk corresponds to the memory clock.



                                                            Note: I am unable to test the above as my trusty GeForce 210 isn't supported and this works only on Kepler or newer GPUs as indicated by
                                                            `nvidia-smi -stats --help'
