Windows 10 Task Manager to show GPU utilization

Given how important GPUs have become over the past two decades or so, it's quite surprising the Windows 10 Task Manager doesn't feature a tab that shows GPU utilization. There are statistics about the CPU, the memory, the hard disk and the network, so why not the GPU?

Fortunately, that changes with the new Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16226 for PC:

Track your GPU performance: For the Task Manager fans out there, we’re happy to share that we’ve heard your feedback and we’ve updated Task Manager to now include GPU info. Our engineering team used the feedback you gave us that is part of this Feedback Collection https://aka.ms/olx5pn to prioritize and to design the feature – thank you! The Performance tab shows GPU utilization information for each separate GPU component (such as 3D and Video encode/decode), as well as graphics memory usage stats. The Details tab shows you GPU utilization info for each process. Please note that this feature is still under construction and you will find issues and bugs, as always please send us feedback in Feedback Hub under Desktop Environment > Task manager.

The 16226 build also features a lot of other new features including new Edge functions, more Emoji support, Touch Keyboard enhancements and more. You can learn about them at the Windows blog.
