    I am trying to monitor the GPU load/usage with rivatuner and cannot find it - if it exists.

    I have seen screenshot of people using rivatuner to monitor their GPU usage/load ... but all were ATI cards user. So i now doubt if there is the option for nVidia cards ?

    I have been using rivatuner for a while and setup my launchers and fan control... so I have been playing with it a while. I know the hardware monitoring section, check the Setup and tried all the plugins listed and none of them allows for GPU usage.

    None of the guide I read mention GPU usage... so I am confused. Does it exist ? do I need a special plugin ?

    I have a 8800GTS 640Mb / Core2Duo E8400.

    There is no hardware GPU usage performance counter in NVIDIA GPUs.

    Thanks. Too bad.

    Isn't "GPU usage" always software anyway ?
