SUMMARY Enhance KsysGuard with GPU stats about vRAM, GPU usage and even temperature maybe in a new Tab called "GPU" or enhance "System load" I think it would be nice to have everything in one place, also AMDGPU doesn't currently have such a control center or something.
The problem with the GPU sensors is that they are not generic, as CPU/load, CPU/freq or RAM is. I.e. depending on you GPU, driver and system you have different paths to the sysfs file (for temp, fan, vcore etc.). Note that there is also no CPU temp graph by default for the very same reason, it depends on the CPU & driver (e.g. k10temp or intel or ...). This is an issue with the linux architecture and nothing that ksysguard can solve - unfortunately... However ofc you can still add those tabs and sensors manually for your system.
Is it theoretically possible to have ksysguard organize what it finds in "semantical" categories? For example, making an extra folder called "Quick Sensors" at the top, with inside: "CPU Usage" "CPU Temperature" "GPU Usage" "GPU Temperature" etc And obviously ksysguard internally searches the most relevant source and attaches it to the relative virtual sensor. That would lay the ground for solving this issue and it'll make ksysguard more usable, because now for gpu temp I have to dig into the hardware sensor and hope that "amdgpu-pci-0900" is what I need. I can find that but non technical users will struggle
Currently radeontop will display gpu usage for AMD cards that are R600 and up To display as text field you can run: sudo radeontop -d - Results look like: (the man page doesn't breakdown what each catagory is though) 1569259733.591327: bus 01, gpu 0.00%, ee 0.00%, vgt 0.00%, ta 0.00%, sx 0.00%, sh 0.00%, spi 0.00%, sc 0.00%, pa 0.00%, db 0.00%, cb 0.00% I personally would love to see this added too!
For monitoring temperature and fan speed for nVidia card I use "remote" monitoring script https://gist.github.com/karolgrudzinski/6096b3a9767e61415c2e8902c53d0bc5
I think it would be a big plus for KSysGuard, if we had a GPU usage tab. Today i found a tool someone wrote a couple of months ago, which adds this functionality to KSysGuard via few dependencies for NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs. Maybe some of it could be reused?

I think the error/request was wasted as KsysGuard was removed with KDE Plasma 5.22. I guess there's no point in keeping this error/request open. Maybe it can be done for "Plasma System Monitor".
ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task. If your wish is still valid for the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
