    Can I set Task Manager network performance graph to NOT auto-scale?


    The Win8/8.1/10 Task Manager's Performance tab's scale will fluctuate by the amount of traffic, and whatever screwball algorithm is interpreting that traffic. But it does not scale for brief spikes in traffic and, frankly, annoys me. I'd much prefer it if the top end of the graph was at the link speed, and not some always-fluctuating value.

    Does anyone know of a way to stop the Task Manager from auto-scaling the network performance graphs?

    Thanks

    :)

    GPU graph in Task Manager's performance tab

    I would like there to be a GPU graph in the task manager in the performance tab.

    Anyone know why there isn't any?

    Example:

  3. How Do I Interpret the Throughput Value on Task Manager Ethernet Graph

    Task Manager on the Performance tab / Ethernet selected shows a Throughput value. This is at the top right corner of the box containing the moving graph. At idle I a Throughput of 100Kbps. My link speed is 1Gbps as shown by the LEDs on the NIC card. When
    I right click the Ethernet graph and select Network Details the Link Speed is 1Gbps and Network Utilization of 0%.

    So what is the meaning of the Throughput number at 100kbps? I can see small spikes on the graph about every 1 second. The Receive number in the lower corner shows 16kbps flashing about once a second. So clearly there is little network traffic. I assume Utilization
    is 0% because very few bits are being received every 1 second and it appears nothing is being sent. So my question about the Throughput number. Is it simply the vertical scale of the Graph? If that is so then calling it Throughput is misleading.

    What does the Throughput number represent and how is it calculated?

    Hi, you probably won't like the idea, but you could consider a 3rd party program:

    Example (I'm not saying this is the best) but:

    Anvir Task Manager certainly lets you set the scales.

    I'm sorry -- no, that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to tweak the Win10 Task Manager to not auto-scale the Performance > Network graphs. I had hoped that there might be a registry tweak that could be applied, or such.

    I am not looking to replace it, or use additional tools.

    Thank you
