AMD Radeon Profile

Simple application to read current clocks of ATi Radeon cards (xf86-video-ati, xf86-video-amdgpu).

[2026-05] Forked to fix issues with latest GPUs and LTS kernel.

xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-amdgpu driver

Install and run radeon-profile-daemon for using this app as normal user. Otherwise app need to be run with root privileges for changing power profiles (and clocks readings sometimes).

Functionality

• Monitoring of basic GPU parameters (frequencies, voltages, usage, temperature, fan speed)
• DPM profiles and power levels
• Fan control (HD 7000+), definition of multiple custom curves or fixed speed
• Overclocking (amdgpu) (Wattman, Overdrive, PowerPlay etc)
• Per app profiles/Event definitions (i.e. change fan profile when temp above defined or set DPM to high when selected binary executed)
• Define binaries to run with set of environment variablees (i.e. GALLIUM_HUD, MESA, LIBGL etc)

Dependencies

• Qt 5.6<= (qt5-base and qt5-charts) (On Debian/Ubuntu: qt5-default libqt5charts5-dev)
• libxrandr
• libdrm (for amdgpu, 2.4.79<=, more recent, the better)
• recent kernel (for amdgpu 4.12<=, more recent, the better)
• radeon card

For full functionality:

• glxinfo - info about OpenGL, mesa
• xdriinfo - driver info
• xrandr - connected displays

Build

cd radeon-profile/
qmake
make 

The resulting binary is ./target/radeon-profile.

Installation

Will copy the binary to /usr/local/bin/.
