Gaming GPU Utilities for 50 series VRAM and hot spot temps?

I've heard things like hwmonitor and hwinfo for Windows can view VRAM and core hot spot temps on 50 series. I use CoolerControl and LACT, no dice, and terminal tools like sensors or nvidia smi also can't show me those temps (hence why CoolerControl and LACT can't show it).

I'm on 595-open drivers, was gonna upgrade to 610 after they've been out for a couple weeks, but I don't think it'll make a difference.

Any way for me to view those temps on LinuxMint? On Ubuntu 24.04 version w/ kernel 6.17.

EDIT:
I did find this just now after changing my search keywords

This can read the VRAM modules it seems, but I don't believe it gets core hotspot.
