CPU and GPU load

[Pitter 23]

Is there a Win10/64 utility or similar with which I can see the load of the processor

and the graphics card during the flight (P3Dv4.5)

Task Manager will show you both.

cheers

Great, tks for your quick answer.

And note that you need to watch the per-core CPU load, as the aggregated average CPU load percentage figure tells you next to nothing useful. 

My preferred way of doing this now is to use the free HWInfo64 program on both the sim PC and a second networked PC (e.g. a laptop) together, which allows you to monitor lots of parameters (temps, voltages, loading, etc) on the second PC outside the sim without disrupting the sim display.

Thanks Bob,
my main focus is on the GraKa to see if it is running at its limit.
I think the TaskManager is sufficient for that.

Anyway, thanks

MSI Afterburner,  combined with RTSS. You can display all the CPU/GPU parameters you may want.

I use OpenHardwareMonitor - same information, but Open Source...

That’s what I use. Very helpful for both load and temps.

This works for me....   https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

GraKa?  I'm going to guess this means the GPU?

There are a few GPU params worth watching beyond just the headline load percentage.  Specifically, I watch normalized total power (%), GPU Power (W), temp, and allocated GPU memory to give a more complete picture of how heavily the GPU is being tasked.  The load % only tells you the fraction of time the GPU's tensor cores are tasked...100% means the GPU is busy, but it doesn't necessarily indicate how heavy the workload is.  Power usage gives some insight into that as a factor in performance.  A number of the other solutions mentioned upthread will also give you the option of monitoring those params, but task manager does not.

Very possibly: OP is German, GraKa may mean Grafikkarte, which means precisely that.

[Pitter 23]

Sorry, but you have correctly identified it. GraKa = GPU

Sorry again
