Conky
I like to use conky as a real-time monitor for both CPU and GPU. Installation is straightforward:
sudo apt install conky
Intel i7-6700HQ iGPU HD 530
In this instance I’ve booted using the integrated GPU rather than the nVidia GTX 970M:
The conky code adapts depending on if booted with prime-select intel or prime-select nvidia:
nVidia GPU GTX 970M

Conky code
The conky code was recently modified to auto-sense the GPU. Now it doesn’t have to be hand modified when rebooting to a different GPU:
