frankie October 31, 2007, at 12:43 PM: I think I've figured out how to get this using the nvidia-settings utility but it is tied to the display and not the local machine.

set nvidia_settings_found=`perl -e 'system("which nvidia-settings > /dev/null 2>&1"); print $?/256'`
if ( $nvidia_settings_found == 0 ) then
    set video_mem_available=`nvidia-settings -q VideoRam | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | tail --bytes=8 | cut -d "." -f 1`
    @ video_mem_avail_MB = $video_mem_available / 1024
    echo "Video memory available: $video_mem_avail_MB MB"
else
    echo "Video memory available: unknown"
endif
