Title: GPU monitoring in Process Explorer 15.0
Post by: Josef W. Segur on 20 Jul 2011, 04:45:04 pm

Looking for some info on how much GPU memory a task was using, I found that the new version of Sysinternals/Microsoft Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) has that. Various graphs as well as column in the list are available.

If you're using an older version, you may want to keep it since there's also a change from black background to something with much less contrast on all the graphs. Mark Russinovich has responded to complaints by saying that at least for the tiny graphs in tray icons, 15.01 will either offer black or make it the default again. I don't know how that will end, I perceive a trend toward making things pretty rather than functional.

  Yeah, the modern trend is to bury functionality.  Maybe not such a big deal for reconfigurable browsers, but surprising for what has become an invaluable debugging tool often used by expert users.... oh well.

Kind of  Applelization, but I'm gonna try it anyway, I need a good monitoring program for my ATI 5870 GPUs.
The SETI Bêta WUs, also VLARs, are giving my I7-2600 (HT=off) and 2 58702 a hard time, hogging the CPU, so I can't even
turn BOINC 6.10.60 off. Have to close boincmgr.exe ; boinc.exe and boincxxx.exe by hand, c.q. taskmanager.
