Can you add support for my GPU?

As open source video card drivers become more prominent, Vitals is more likely able to show GPU information. When using proprietary drivers, it is less likely that Vitals will show GPU information.

It comes down to whether sensor information is available in /proc or /sys. Vitals uses asynchronous file reading to help prevent your system from lagging on every refresh. Executing a command line utility would cause unresponsiveness and is not something I want Vitals to exhibit.

If you have an AMD, please chime in here if relevant https://github.com/corecoding/Vitals/issues/124
