    It seems this is actually a duplicate of How to measure GPU usage?

    Here are all the suggestions in one simple list:

    • Nvidia GPUs: nvidia-smi --loop-ms=1000
    • Nvidia GPUs: ntop
    • Intel GPUs: intel-gpu-tools
    • AMD GPUs: fglrx (closed source drivers): aticonfig --odgc --odgt
    • AMD GPUs: mesa (open source drivers): RadeonTop
    • GPUstat: gpustat
    • Conky: sudo apt install conky ( I can't get this to work )
    • Glances: glances

  2. I found two tools, so decide which works best for your needs:

    1. glmark2:

      • Installation:

        sudo apt-get install glmark2
# usage
glmark2

    2. glx-gears:

      • installation:

        sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
# usage
glxgears

    Then in case your looking for something more robust, then try the tools from Unigine Benchmark Products: link => https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven
