UsageMonitor GPU usage too high

[Ramere4321]

So when using UsageMonitor to get gpu usage it always shows some 5-10% more than hwinfo or windows task manager does. So I guess I'm asking what do they all actually measure? As they often output vastly different values. Or did I even point the right value in HWINFO?

Code:

Code: Select all

[gpuUse]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=UsageMonitor
Alias=GPU

[TEMPMeter1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=gpuUse1
MeterStyle=valueStyle
Text=[gpuUse:0]
dynamicVariables=1

This topic has come up several times before. Here's one: UsageMonitor always reports too high GPU usage for individual processes. The simple fix is to blacklist the "dwm" process in your GPU UsageMonitor measures:

Code: Select all

[gpuUse]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=UsageMonitor
Alias=GPU
Blacklist=dwm

The reason for this is that it appears that Windows is excluding DWM from the value it reports, so you have to do this in your measures too.
