Monitoring graphic card usage.

bushmins · 2 Apr 2009 at 11:38

Ive just put in 3meg RAM which replaced the 1 i originally had.
Its been put into a laptop with 128 intergrated graphics, it has HyperMemory up to 256MB.

I didnt notice any difference on 3Dmark05 when i put the new RAM in, im wondering if there is a program that will let me monitor how much RAM the graphic uses in real time.

3 Gig?

/pedant.

Rivatuner apparently has this facility.

1. Open rivatuner and click customize, then hardware monitoring.

2. Click setup

3. Click plugins

4. Enable vidmem.dll

^ Leached off another forum ^ (did have pics, but they've gone now so cant really help more)

I tried Rivatuner but i dont get the option to click 'Hardware' in the 'customize' clicky.

Probably because its on board graphics.

Last time I checked Everest*, it gave you a real time update on application ram usage.

* Has a habit of changing what options are available on the free version regularly.

Edit: Ah, you are probably asking specifically about video card ram use, sorry.
Edit2: Yes, it tells you how much ram is free on the video card. Idling on the desktop I have 485 out of 512mb, its telling me.
