envycontrol: Check current GPU mode.
$ sudo envycontrol --query
try on your machine

The command "sudo envycontrol --query" is used to retrieve information about the current GPU clock and memory clock settings in a Linux system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo" is a command used to execute another command as a superuser or root user. It is often used to perform administrative tasks that require elevated privileges.

  • "envycontrol" is a utility command for NVIDIA graphics cards in Linux. It allows users to fine-tune various settings related to the GPU, such as clock speeds, fan control, etc.

  • "--query" is an option or flag in the envycontrol command, which indicates that we want to retrieve specific information from the GPU. In this case, it is used to query or get the current GPU clock and memory clock settings.

So when you run "sudo envycontrol --query" in a terminal, the command will fetch and display the current GPU clock and memory clock settings of the NVIDIA GPU on your Linux system.
