SmartD0G Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Hey all, I'm currently using a SensorPanel via Aida64, and as you can see here on the panel, my GPU Utilization is 26%, yet the Performance tab on Task Manager is reporting 4%. Quite a big difference, and the reason for my post is that there is always such a big disparity between the 2 GPU readings. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/oMeVBDh My sensor panel is currently displaying the GPU1 Utilization datapoint. There are other options for GPU1 (GPU1 MC Utilization, VE Utilization & BI Utilization) but they are also - and somewhat expected - not in line with what Task Manager is showing, but did test them to see if they matched. So, my question is... Which data point are you using to reflect an accurate (or acceptable) read here?; and\or is there currently a known issue with the GPU readings with AIDA64? I'm also willing to play devil's advocate to my own question and acknowledge the fact that Task Manager itself could be wrong, but again... just curious what people do for an accurate (or acceptable) read for GPU util here with Aida64. Thank you. To add: Here is a link to the sensor panel I am using: https://moderno.freire.ca/bianco/ Quote

Most likely Task Manager uses a different method like Direct3D based measurement while AIDA64 measures GPU utilization using direct AMD or nVIDIA video driver calls. 1 Quote
SmartD0G Posted January 22 Author Posted January 22 Appreciate your response here! Thank you! I did some side by side measurements of the sensor panel and nvidia-smi output, and the panel DID MATCH what nvidia-smi was reporting. Not sure why Task Manager doesn't also use this value itself (once an nvidia driver is installed, of course) but; Oh well!... that's for a different thread, different board... and definitely different day! 😜 Quote
