Created attachment 148862 [details]
Sensors exposed currently in plasma-systemmonitor.

SUMMARY
Consider exposing more sensors like Encode and Decode sensors for NVIDIA GPU in Plasma System Monitor.

OBSERVED RESULT
Currently there are only Memory and Core usage, frequencies and memory size sensors as shown in the attached image. It would be very helpful to have Video Encode/Decode sensors in system monitor to have complete monitoring of NVIDIA GPU in Plasma.

EXPECTED RESULT
To have more sensors exposed to the user in GPU sensors section like encode, decode sensors for NVIDIA GPUs. It can be seen from the attached image showing command-line monitoring of Encoder usage that it is possible to poll the information using nvidia-smi.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93
Qt Version: 5.15.3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU with 510.68 proprietary driver installed.

Please change severity to wishlist.

I am sorry, but I dont see the option to change Importance from Normal. Is this option hidden somewhere?

Another user changed it for you, so you are all set.  Come to think of it, I don't really know how to edit that after positing.
