|gpu|GPU index, here 0|
|pwr|GPU power draw in watts|
|gtemp|GPU core temperature|
|mtemp|GPU memory temperature; - means unsupported/not reported|
|sm|Streaming Multiprocessor/core utilization|
|mem|memory controller/bandwidth utilization, not VRAM used|
|enc|NVENC video encoder usage|
|dec|NVDEC video decoder usage|
|jpg|JPEG engine usage|
|ofa|Optical Flow Accelerator usage|

pwr: 34–59 W
gtemp: 72–77 C
sm: 3–53 %
mem: 1–19 %
enc/dec/jpg/ofa: 0 %
mclk: 5501 MHz
pclk: 1515 → 1710 MHz
Important gotcha is 19% mem doesn’t mean “19% of 8GB memory is being used”. Instead it means 19% of memory controller / memory bandwidth is busy
nvtop

This lists which process is using the GPU, like desktop rendering processes like xorg, gnome-shell, chrome, vscode, obsidian, etc.
How do you genreate a photo realistic pipeline
- is it common to add other objects?
