Task Manager shows GPU usage graph

An interesting development in Task Manager is the additions of GPU performance information. Now data scientists and gaming enthusiasts can understand the usage of their graphics devices in real time and in performance logging. This should help those purchasing hardware resources for gaming and help data scientists also make more intelligent decisions on those purchases.

Observe that Windows also indicates an amount of shared GPU memory with the OS, in addition to giving dedicated memory information, driver version and date, and overall utilization. The graphs for computer, copy, video, and so on are all interchangeable when you have multiple GPUs as well.
