Hello everyone.

With one of the recent updates, Windows 10 got very nice GPU info in "performance" tab of Task Manager.

But what do these Compute_x charts mean?

Spoiler

In the picture I'm doing CUDA computation with integers.

My only guess is that Compute_0 is for integers and Compute_1 is for floats(each cuda core has one float and one integer compute processor), but I couldn't find any proof for my guess.

Thanks for any help!

Task Manager just displays what your video drivers spit at it. My AMD card had some weird options for the graphs that didn't work well and then after a driver update for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the graphs in Task Manager worked correctly and all the weird options were cleaned up.

 

Because of this, it is difficult to determine what graph option is for what. Maybe update your graphics drivers, it might clear the graphs up a bit and make more sense.

"Compute_0" on my machines reads "Video Encode" while "Compute_1" is "Video Decode".
