This is a Python3 program which uses a simple GTK gui to view, monitor and in the future overclock a Radeon GPU on Linux.
- View memory and GPU P-states including voltages.
- Ability to monitor signals from GPU sensors by means of plotting
- Write a bash file with overclock settings
- Multi GPU support by means of prompting user which card to edit at startup
- Directly apply values from GUI (this will be a future addition)
- Fan control (this will be a future addition)
- Monitor mulitple GPU's
- Linux kernel 4.8+ (Ubuntu 16.10 or newer)
- Python3
- Python3-matplotlib
- Python3-gi
- Python3-setuptools
- A Radeon card which uses the AMDGPU kernel driver
- The overdrive kernel parameter must be set.
Clone the repository and open a terminal in this folder. For installation (including all dependencies) run
sudo python3 setup.py install
After installation, the wattmanGTK command is available from any terminal.
Alternatively, the tool can also be launched from the command line without installation. This would require you to install the depencencies beforehand. After installing the depencencies, the tool is available by running
python3 run.py
in a terminal where you cloned the repository. When you want to apply the settings given in the GUI click apply, and instructions will be given on how to apply the overclock. This is at your own risk!
Contributions can be made in terms of:
- Hardware debugging, please let me know if your configuration runs or not (mine is run with 4.19 and an RX480)
- Feature additions, some TODO's are given in the files
- Packaging of the software
- Feedback on the code
- Donations can be made on http://paypal.me/pools/c/89hdUKrx2Z
- Other contributions are also possible, please let me know
Just try to run WattmanGTK. It will tell you if your card does not support overdrive. Even if this is not the case you can set a kernel parameter to force overdrive to be enabled (may not work on all cards). For more information on how to set the parameter check the Arch Wiki
For GRUB based systems (like ubuntu): edit the /etc/default/grub file and edit the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
And change it to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=<the suggested value by WattmanGTK>"
Then grub needs to be updated, for ubuntu this is done by running
sudo update-grub
For distro agnostic updating this can be done by running
on BIOS systems: # grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
on UEFI systems: # grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
Then reboot the machine. Once rebooted you can check the current featuremask by
printf "0x%08x\n" $(cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask)
It could be that setting the kernelparameter can enable features that should not be enabled which could be the cause.
