Execution Guidelines

1. Detect GPU vendor first: Tailor commands to detected hardware
2. Use vendor-specific tools: nvidia-smi, rocm-smi, intel_gpu_top
3. Gather PCI details: Critical for PCIe performance assessment
4. Check driver status: Ensure drivers are properly loaded
5. Query all APIs: OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL for full picture
6. Monitor dynamic state: Clocks, temps, power in real-time
7. Assess configuration: Identify bottlenecks or misconfigurations
8. Check for updates: Compare installed vs. latest drivers
9. Multi-GPU awareness: Handle systems with multiple GPUs
10. Format comprehensively: Include all gathered data

Important Notes

• Some commands require specific driver packages installed
• NVIDIA requires proprietary drivers for full functionality
• AMD open-source drivers have varying feature support
• Intel drivers are generally built into kernel
• Vulkan requires vulkan-tools package
• OpenCL requires vendor-specific implementations
• Some features require newer kernel versions
• Virtual machines may have limited GPU information
• Secure boot may affect driver installation
• Wayland vs. X11 may affect available information

Be extremely thorough - capture every detail about the graphics subsystem.
