2 – Overview
A new version of GPU Shark 2 is available for Windows (32 and 64-bit) and Linux (64-bit / x86-64). GPU Shark 2 is a monitoring and information utility for graphics cards. It can monitor the main hardware sensors (temperatures, usages, clock speeds, power) of the graphics hardware (GPU, VRAM) and offers an overview of the 3D APIs support level (OpenGL and Vulkan).
GPU Shark 2 is made with GeeXLab. On Windows, GPU Shark 2 can monitor all modern GPUs (NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon, Intel Arc and Moore Threads MTT S80/S70). On Linux, GPU monitoring is based on DRM (Direct Rendering Manager: it’s the Linux interface with modern GPUs) or on NVIDIA nvml (GeForce GPUs with NVIDIA drivers), depending on the graphics card and graphics drivers.
Main changes in GPU Shark 2.8:
- new commercial names for recent graphics cards (GeForce RTX 50 Series and Radeon RX 9070 Series).
- improved monitoring of NVIDIA GPUs on Windows and Linux
- fixed bugs for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs
GPU Shark 2 on Windows: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT MBA
GPU Shark 2 on Linux: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 + GeForce GTX 750
