Bug Description

Feature request: The GPU is an important part of system performance. It would be great if the system load indicator could also offer performance data for the GPU, i.e. GPU load% and memory usage.
One approach I found, at least for Nvidia cards, is this, via nvidia-smi: http://www.matrix44.net/blog/?p=876 I'd think there's also a method for other GPU chipsets.

What do you say? Is this feasible to include?

RAM usage is highly relevant, because it is preferred for generative AI, cryptocurrency, etc.
