I am trying to get temperature of nvidia without changing its state from suspend to active - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME# … Management

Problem -
- I want to display nvidia-gpu temp in waybar with interval of around 5seconds or less.
- If i get the temperature using any of these three methods - nvidia state changes to "active" from "suspend"
- going from "active" to "suspend" takes around 30seconds(variable)
- if i query with interval of 5, it will never shift to "suspend" state and will be locked in "active" state.

I don't positively know but suspect that's not gonna be possible.
I'd suggest to test whether the GPU is suspended and print "idle" instead of the temperature - if it's heatig up in that state your device is probably on fire and you should put it over there with the other fire

Yes, will have to give up on nvidia-gpu temp. This can be fixed from nvidia-company side only.

How does amd gpu work ? Does it have also has 'suspend state' ? Does it also wake up if queried for temps?

Idk whether it can completely power down.
