Vid usage @ 0% ?

[scottd9]

I have never noticed this but should my vid usage be at 0% on both cards

if your doing very basic tasks/nothing , then 0% should be normal

no even when gaming its at zero, but my gpu usage is at 99% on both cards

what program are you monitoring for this, if your gpus are at 99% then your gpus are working as intended. if anything as an irregularity, theres the offshoot chance that since i dont know your system build, the 0% is representing the igpu on your motherboard/cpu that is currently NOT in use.

I mean if its 0% and its not affecting performance, I dont think you should worry much about it. Can't say much about it, since I dont use Asus GPU Tweak(as its one of the more limiting overclocking tools since it puts an extremely low limit for overclocking vs other overclocking tools.)

Meh as long as it's able to play just fine, don't worry about it.

yea i haven't really notice anything, im still getting high framrates with maxed settings on games. i just cant remember ever seeing it at 0%

i just downloaded msi afterburner and vid usage is not even on there being monitored as far as i can tell.

I'm aware this is a necro, but for those finding it on google:

Extended GPU usage monitoring for Intel integrated iGPUs. You can independently monitor usage of main GPU execution unit (labeled as “GPU usage”) and MFX unit (labeled as "VID usage" to keep NVIDIA-styled GPU domains naming)
