Exploring alternatives for GPU process tracking

It seems the system lacks GPU Process counters, so we need alternatives like ETW with Windows Performance Recorder and DirectX diagnostic tools. There's also WMI classes related to GPU performance, but if they're missing, we could use Process Explorer or command-line tools like nvidia-smi or DXGI to gather performance data.

Exploring options for GPU usage tracking

NVIDIA’s nvidia-smi command can show GPU memory used, but it's not perfect, and the Process Explorer method works best. I could suggest installing newer versions of Windows and NVIDIA drivers, but it might be easier to recommend Process Explorer, which is more reliable. There’s also the open-source ProcessHacker tool.

Exploring methods for tracking GPU memory use

I can guide the user through using Process Explorer to track GPU memory, though I can't provide a screenshot. For more advanced users, I can suggest installing the Windows Performance Toolkit to capture GPU memory allocations with specific commands. I'll include clear steps for both methods and also recommend updating Windows and drivers.

Alternative options: Process Explorer and GPU tracking

I can recommend using Process Explorer with columns like "GPU Usage" and "GPU Private Bytes" to monitor GPU usage. I'll provide instructions for enabling GPU counters, including updating drivers and installing the "Graphics Tools" feature for access to tools like GPUView and DX tools. We can also adjust scripts if necessary.
