NVTOP has a builtin setup utility that provides a way to specialize the interface to your needs. Simply press F2 and select the options that are the best for you.

In the Chart section you can choose which metrics are plotted, including GPU and memory utilization, temperature, power, clocks, and the PCIe RX / TX load (the receive and transmit throughput as a percentage of the maximum link bandwidth).

You can save the preferences set in the setup window by pressing F12. The preferences will be loaded the next time you run nvtop.
