  1. When I play games my GPU is not being used, and it does not show up on task manager


    I have a GTX 1660 ti. As soon as I upgraded to windows 11, my gpu stopped working in games. Whenever I look at my task or device manager my GPU does not show up. What can I do?

  2. Task Manager GPU readout not correct.

    Hello! I've got a 2-GPU system that I'm using to run Folding@Home. This, naturally, fully loads both graphics cards. However, Windows Task Manager only shows a 0-2% load on the cards. This also occurred when running a video game for a more normal GPU task.
    Radeon Settings, GPU-Z, and MSI Afterburner all correctly showed usage at 99%, as well as my video card's light-up 'Tachometer'. Why is task manager failing to detect this load?

  3. GPUs in the Task Manager is showing in wrong order

    I have an Asus Tuf A15 2021 model.

    Windows 11 Home, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16GB RAM, NVidia RTX 3060 6GB.

    Earlier all my games were running very smoothly with the dedicated graphics card.

    I upgraded my Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro and stayed away from games for 2-3 months.

    I recently started playing games, but now the games run with iGPU, no matter what graphics card I select.

    I have done all my research and done all most all kinds of configurations, but no luck.

    Then recently I looked carefully and found that in the task manager performer tab, in the GPU section the GPUs are showing as below:

    GPU 0: Nvidia RTX 3060

    GPU 1: AMD Radeon.

    Earlier it was like GPU 0: AMD Radeon; GPU 1: Nvidia RTX 3060

    GPU graph is not seen in task manager

    Hi Sree,

    You can now view GPU performance in the Task Manager in Windows 10 if you have a dedicated GPU, the Task Manager will show you performance stats for both the integrated and dedicated GPU since you just mentioned that you've already upgraded your PC to the Fall
    Creators Update. But, since the GPU graph is not showing on your PC's Task Manager, there's a possibility that your computer wasn't meet requirements for GPU in the Task Manager. To know more about it, you may check this article:
