GPU vendor/device visible

General
#1

Hi, do you think it may be possible, without overloading the interface, to add GPU SVendor/SDevice somewhere? Can be useful to identify cards quickly for poor guys like me with mixed cards models. (maybe make info appear when we hover card number in detailled view)

Output we can get:

lspci -vmms 03:00.0

Slot: 03:00.0
Class: VGA compatible controller
Vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Device: Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/580]
SVendor: Sapphire Technology Limited
SDevice: Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Pulse 8GB
Rev: e7

That would be a nice feature. Slot number is very important.

If we could also have the option to spins fans to max that would be useful in finding the exact card.

I am currently only using Nvidia GPUs.

This command: lspci -vd 10DE:*
shows all of the Nvidia GPUs with great details:

The script to find the card by spinning them are already there, gpu-find-fans I think is the name. gpu [tab tab] in shell :wink:

#4

Does the script identify which PCIe slot though?

Maybe adding a field info where we can keep some notes can be useful? LIke “Card bought on 02/02/18 at BestBuy, receipt #blxblxnxl”

As I stated earlier having the physical slot number in the gpu-fans-find list would be very helpful.

Please add Physical Slot to gpu-fans-find.

#8

I’m notice what “Physical Slot” maybe not avaiable on some old motherboard / old BIOS / old PCI version or bad support

BTW it’s very helpful info.

#9

This is good script, however when it try to spin the fan of my Powercolor’s card… I can’t hear or see differences as the sounds is very smooth even 100% full.

#10

Had to check at home, but I think the easiest way is to stop miner, way a bit for cards to cool down, and run the script by specifying the card #

#11

In case you don;t want to do it with the script, you can do it manually with wolfamdctrl -i CARD --set-fan-speed 0 for all cards but yours. Have mines stopped, because some control your fan speed (and I’m not responsible of what happen if you drop it a zero while mining is running… :))
