gpustat is a simple command-line utility for querying and monitoring NVIDIA GPU status, offering a compact alternative to nvidia-smi. It displays GPU utilization, memory, temperature, fan speed, power, and per-process information, with watch mode and JSON output.
Use cases
- monitor nvidia gpu usage from the terminal
- check which processes are using gpu memory
- watch gpu utilization in real time
- get gpu stats as for scripts
- see gpu temperature and fan speed quickly
- monitor gpu power draw and limits
When to choose
- you want a compact, readable alternative to nvidia-smi
- you need per-process GPU usage with usernames and commands
- you want JSON output for monitoring scripts
- you work with NVIDIA GPUs on Linux or macOS
When to avoid
- you have AMD or Intel GPUs (NVIDIA only)
- you need a web dashboard or historical metrics collection
- your NVIDIA driver is older than 450.00 with gpustat 1.0+
