Re: [Feature Request] GPU Usage
We really can't provide support for "sensors" that are ring-0 drivers in Windows. There are financial considerations that make that pretty much out of the question for us.Sylver Cheetah 53 wrote: ↑September 24th, 2024, 2:54 am Can you please add GPU usage?

You will want to use HWiNFO to get GPU information.

The only problem is the scalar is broken, so you can get 250% GPU usage, it's something Windows has to fix but hasn't so far, for this, jsmorley's suggestion is the solution.

There isn't a simple one line answer to that, but this link should help:

Re: [Feature Request] GPU Usage
A simpler, potentially more portable solution would be to use MSI Afterburner, IF it supports your hardware and you're ok with the slightly fewer sensors it provides. Two simple skins showcasing the approach here - make sure you read the info I posted there if you want to add other sensors:

With a little bit of effort, MSI Afterburner / Riva Tuner Statistics Server can be used to also show such data in a skin-like design in games, obviously independent of Rainmeter, see the first screenshot here:
