Question GPU Utilization "N/A" in Adrenalin Performance Overlay on AMD Ryzen 5 2500U Vega 8 Graphics

[Ambadyvs]

Hello Community,
I recently installed the AMD Adrenalin Edition 24.9.1 on my laptop, which has an AMD Ryzen™ 5 2500U processor with integrated Radeon Vega 8 Graphics. The software works smoothly, and all metrics in the Performance Overlay appear correctly, except for one issue: GPU Utilization consistently shows as "N/A," even while gaming.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far to resolve this:

1. Verified that the Metrics Overlay is enabled in Adrenalin settings.
2. Confirmed that GPU Utilization is toggled on within the overlay settings.
3. Checked for any display or driver errors in Device Manager, but everything seems fine.
4. Tested the overlay in multiple games to rule out individual game compatibility issues.
5. I haven’t encountered any yellow warnings or other driver issues, and all other overlay metrics display as expected.

If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has suggestions on how to enable GPU Utilization monitoring, I’d greatly appreciate the help!

I’m attaching a screenshot taken in-game from BeamNG, where the overlay clearly shows GPU Utilization as "N/A."

Thanks in advance!

Try HWinfo64,

If you run it in Sensors mode, it shows plethora of telemetry, including "GPU Core Load" under GPU section.

Thanks for the suggestion to use HWinfo64!
I’ll check it out. But I'm curious to know why the AMD Adrenalin software itself isn't showing GPU utilization in the overlay. Is there a reason this metric isn't being captured directly in Adrenalin, even though other metrics display fine? I'd appreciate any insights on what might cause this or if there's a way to enable it.

But I'm curious to know why the AMD Adrenalin software itself isn't showing GPU utilization in the overlay.

Since i don't have AMD GPU myself (i'm on the Nvidia bandwagon), i can't check it myself. But could be that AMD Adrenalin is only for dedicated GPU. In a similar sense, MSI Afterburner is for dedicated GPU OC. Though, MSI Afterburner could also show iGPU utilization.

or if there's a way to enable it.

Best to contact AMD about it and ask them. Since after all, they made that software.
