Get GPU information from your Nvidia card on Linux very easily.

If the user of an Ubuntu or Linux Mint machine has an Nvidia card, and the proprietary drivers are installed, then it is very easy to get information about their graphics card from the terminal.

This simple one-liner will use awk to print the 4th 5th and 6th column of text in the output from grep. This allows the user to only return the exact information that is needed.
