GPU over 100% workaround #21

Closed Kablion closed 4 years ago

Kablion commented 4 years ago

Now the GPU Widget gets the GPU Usage data from either MSIAfterburner, HWiNFO or UsageMonitor UsageMonitor is not usable for everyone. For some the Total GPU Usage is listed in perfmon.exe for some it is not. Couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I switched to measuring the usage via MSIAfterburner (HWiNFO is possible too)

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/usagemonitor/ Even though UsageMonitor is very much more efficient in its use of CPU than the PerfMon, I guess this is some quirk of it. Thank you for your contribution.

No no you understood me wrong. It uses MSIAfterburner or HWiNFO. The link you sent talks about UsageMonitor and PerfMon. Both get their data from the windows program called perfmon.exe . But I cannot say how efficient this solution is. If you don't have MSI Afterburner or HWiNFO running it still uses UsageMonitor

Don't worry, I understood you. I posted that link because I remember bad things about PerfMon 😂
