W10 Task Mngr monitors GPU (Screenshot)

[Thready]

I think this is new isn't it? This wasn't present the other day. I feel like this is news worthy but this is just my own news lol.

 

What is shared GPU memory? Is that a combo of GPU RAM and system RAM?

 

I wonder how useful this would be as a diagnostic tool for GPU usage in games. What do you guys think the purpose was of adding this on Task Manager?

That's old actually, it might just be that you never noticed it because of all those drives!

it's been around for as long as i've been using W10.

It's very useful. You can change the headers based on what you're doing.

This, for instance is how I monitor Folding@Home to make sure it's doing its job.

So I guess you can adjust it so you're not pushing 100% all the time and you use this as a monitor?

He made sure to monitor the CUDA. If you look carefully, yours by default isn't set to monitor that.

Yep.

How long have you been folding for? Have you noticed any performance hits? I guess you can just shut it down when you need to use your GPU for something. I used to fold on my PS3 but they removed it a few years ago.

I folded back in the PS3 days as well. Started doing it on PC in 2017 for the LTT team. Currently #1. I typically have dedicated folding rigs, but throw my main rig in the mix when folding month comes up. Even at full it's not a big hit unless I'm doing something that uses Cuda acceleration. Then I just pause it.

Oh wow. I might look into that because I have a FX 6300 and RX 480 that are currently doing nothing.

Definitely! Every little bit helps.
