GPU Taskman open-source VRAM monitoring tool, Digi Mart USA News: The standard Windows Task Manager shows running processes and how much CPU, RAM, memory and network bandwidth they use, but it does not provide a dedicated VRAM usage display. That gap matters because local AI models rely mainly on the high-speed VRAM found on modern graphics cards, while the standard tool offers only a rough overview of overall GPU utilization.
To address this, Scott Hanselman, a Microsoft vice president, developed an open-source tool called GPU Taskman and made it freely available on GitHub. According to the source report, the tool shows which apps and processes are using how much of the VRAM, filling an information gap left by the standard Task Manager.
GPU Taskman is not limited to Microsoft Windows. The source says it can also run on Linux and, with some limitations, on macOS.
It supports both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, although compatibility may vary depending on the platform.
The app is available for download from its official GitHub page, which also provides additional information. GPU Taskman runs on Python by default, but a portable version is also available.
