Programs to see the usage of the GPU?

Echodamus

So I just got a new laptop with a 650M and I was wondering if there are any programs that tells how much of the GPU is being utilized (like the MSI Kombuster/Afterburner software) just for the shits and giggles of it all. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Here is a list of common fallacies. Which ones have you used today?

I got a little windows 7 Gadget that shows usage, memory usage, fan speed, temperature, etc. Not sure how accurate it is, but it works :)

 

Just look up GPU meter gadget and you're good.

 

Looks like this:

It's actually quite accurate. It always shows the same readings as EVGA Precision and GPU-Z, so I rely on it 95% of the time. :D

There's only a couple of bugs with it, like the fact that it doesn't show my GPU clock speed or shader clock.

If you set it to run off of PC Meter instead of CoreTemp, it'll show your clocks correctly :)

It never prompted me to run with any kind of other software, only CPU meter does that for me.

It doesn't prompt for it, but you can change to PC Meter in the options. It's a newer feature that they don't force on anyone. I believe PC Meter is still in beta.
