Can I see how much my IGPU is being used vs dedicated?

Hi, Can I see how much my IGPU is being used compared to dedicated?

I am looking for a new laptop, and wanting to know if my usage of dedicated graphics needs one.

Is there a way to look back at how much usage it gets, or would it only be in real time?

This would be really helpful

Thanks
James

If a gamer, might need one but not all Notebooks/Laptops offer s,uch in addition to the onboard/built-in adapter.

Winkey + R, type dxdiag to get more information that may help.

Hi! You can check your iGPU vs. dedicated GPU usage in Task Manager under the Performance tab. It shows real-time usage, but doesn’t keep history unless you use tools like MSI Afterburner or HWInfo to log it. If your dedicated GPU is used often for tasks like gaming or editing, it’s worth getting a laptop with a good one.

Hope that helps! – James
