How to identify WHICH processes are using the GPU?
2
I have Nvidia GT750M in a laptop, with "display GPU activity icon in notification area" activated. Right now all I have open are Google Chrome, Notepad++, and windows explorer, yet it says 2 processes are using the GPU. How do I find out WHICH processes are using the GPU? Without installing extra software.

Process Explorer shows GPU activity on a per-process basis, but its not sortable, so you have to select a process and look at its properties to see what GPU impact it has (if any) but once you find the process, you can view its GPU usage and VRAM usage ( dedicated, shared and committed). technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer Process explorer does not require installation, but will have to be downloaded from microsoft.

Not in Win7 or older. not sure about Win8+. you could check the resource monitor on them, but on win7, it does not show GPU stats. GPU information has historically be vendor-specific so at least until recent years, you could only rely on utilities from NVidia or ATI/AMD or their resalers.

This most likely will never be a feature of Windows not all systems have a GPU worth reporting this information or perhaps most users don't care or wouldn't know what it was

Is the GT750M the only GPU in your system? No integrated graphics such as Intel HD 4500?
