GPUMonitor Plugin
A GPUMonitor plugin allows monitoring the graphics card temperature and per-frame information on the chip frequency (if available).
The information provided by the plugin is displayed in the upper right corner.

To run the plugin sample from the Unigine SDK Browser, press the GPU Monitor plugin button on the Plugin Samples tab.
GPU Information
The following information is available for GPU:
| Graphics | Core clock, i.e. frequency, at which the GPU is running. |
|---|---|
| Memory | Memory clock, i.e. how fast the GPU memory is running. |
| Processor | Shader clock, i.e. how fast the shaders operate. |
| Temperature | GPU temperature. |
The table below demonstrates which information is shown for different GPUs:
| GPU | Graphics | Memory | Processor | Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA |  |
|
|
|
| AMD | |

| Intel | not supported | not supported | not supported | not supported |
Launching GPUMonitor
To use the plugin, specify the extern_plugin command line option on the start-up:
main_x86d -extern_plugin "GPUMonitor"Also you can create a new project with the GPU Monitor plugin enabled by checking the GPU frequencies and temperature monitoring option on the New Project tab of the Unigine SDK Browser.
To hide or show the GPUMonitor plugin information while running the application, use the show_gpu console command.
