I am looking for a utility that would show work load on my 8800gt. Something like "Performance" tab in Windows Task manager. Does anybody know one?

Didn't nVidia have a driver tweak that represented GPU load as a rising column at the edge of the screen?

It overlayed games, videos etc.. so you could see if a game was hammering your GPU.

I don't know, that's why I am asking. Do you know how to use that driver tweak? I've never heard of it...

I only ever used it when I had an SLI setup, that was way back in the 6 series. A quick trawl through some forums confirms it was a feature of the SLI drivers, not available for single GPUs.

Have you tried GPU-z? It features a load graph on my card (ATI), it may be worth a look.

I had a look for at GPUz and it can't do it. Even google can't find any utility to do this. There is about 8 graphs in Rivatuner but not the one I'am after.
Oh well...

funny you should ask, nvidia released an update for system tools, and i just found that it allows you to monitor GPU load/framebuffer usage

clicky its a big old download, but theres an awful lot in there. look under start menu > all programs > nvidia corparation > nvidia system monitor, navigate to the GPU section and its in there

hopefully it wont be too long until someone makes a plugin for rivatuner,i have a sidebar gadget that reads the system monitor values, and it would be so convenient. theres already one for ATi cards so it could happen

Nice one, thank you very much.

It works well. I always wanted to know how hard does my GPU work when it accelerates 1080 HD rips. My E6750 @ 3.2ghz is not fast enough to do it on its own but 8800gt uses only 5% of its clock potential even during most complex scenes. Amazing.

Cuda is the future....
