A program to determine the load on the processor. Monitoring the processor and video card in the game. Monitoring Windows servers using the Nagios family

In the previous article, a list of 80 monitoring tools was compiled Linux system. There was a sense to make a selection of tools for Windows. Below will be a list that serves just the starting point, there is no rating.

1. Task Manager.

All well-known dispatcher windows tasks - Utility for displaying the list of running processes and resources consumed. But do you know how to use it all the potential? As a rule, with its help control the state of the processor and memory, but you can go much further. This application is pre-at all operating systems Microsoft companies.

63. Openhardwaremonitor

Hello everybody! Recently wondered, there is a computer with graphic program And sometimes when working with projects, it slows down. I looked at the Task Manager Downloading a computer and see that it strains rAMBut perhaps loaded and video card ... But how to see the download of the video card? Now I will show 3 programs in which you can see all statistics!

How to see the load on the video card?

I picked up 3. best programsAnd consider each of them.

Process Explorer.

In this program, the work schedule is best visible, when analyzing the computer to what the computer lacks, I would choose it. To see graphics, you need to select System Information.

There are 3 parameters here, it is a GPU usage - loading the video card chip.

GPU Dedicated Memory - this is the video card operational memory

GPU SYSTEM MEMORY - I did not fully understand with this item. They write that this is the RAM, but not. Graphic system Memory. But where it comes from it is not entirely clear) to the campaign this parameter is important if there is no external video card and the built-in memory is used together with the operational. Generally good programin which you can track the load schedule.

After reading the reviews of the previous program, many complained about compatibility. But this seems to work on all operating systems. You can view brief information and detailed.

There is no load on this picture.

And here I am a little strained by a graphic editor.

If you press VIEW - Detailed Mode, you can see detailed statistics.

GPU-Z.

This program is in demand by many gamers and accelerators)) I liked it in it, which can be traced the minimum and maximum load on the video card.

For example, if you click on any window with a value, you can see that MIN, MAX appears in the corner ... For example, you noticed that the video card began to slow down the graphics and the cooler began to spin quickly. We look at a simple temperature for example 36 °, we put the value of Max and run a heavy game. If you see that the temperature is more than 80-90, then it is worth thinking about the replacement of the thermal paste. But depending on the company's company, the temperature may be different. For example, I accelerate my maximum to 76 °. I have a collector ASUS, and each other has a palit and exactly the same video card is heated to 86 °.

So you can find out the load on the video card. In the first program you can not only check the load on the video card, then to monitor the processor loading, memory, hard disk and video cards in games and any programs.

If you need a processor monitoring and video card in the game, and at the same time you would not refuse and display during the frame rate game (FPS), then the easiest way to get all this is Nakhalyava - install MSI Afterburner.

The program is simple and visual, its only minus is a very small default interface buttons.

MSI Afterburner is able to monitor all the parameters you need:

• The temperature of the graphics processor.
• The temperature of the central processor.
• Load level and other, to determine the "bottlenecks" of the system.
• Frame rate (FPS).
• The speed of rotation of the video card cooler.
• As well as many other indicators, not so necessary to ordinary gamer, such as frequencies and voltages, as well as information about the paging file. Of course, you yourself assign what to monitor and display on an overlay screen display (OED, it is OSD).
• And MSI Afterburner can capture video and screenshots, and accelerate the video card. In general, full minced!

Data can not only monitor, but also to display during the game to enjoy the diquses in real time, without turning the game every minute. By the way, along with all this statistics on the screen, you can display and hours that happens very convenient.

One of the features of the program is to display on the charts of monitoring peak values, so there is no need to scroll through the graphics - just throw a look at the red numbers above them.

Setting up MSI Afterburner

To begin with, poke the settings button at the bottom of the program panel:

At the top of the window that appears:

1. select the "Monitoring" tab;
2. we put ticks at the points of the list that we want to monitor. Drag the rows with the mouse in the order in which you want them to be displayed in the game;
3. while the line-line is highlighted, it can be assigned - whether it will be displayed in the OED during the game, or not (and at the same time, the color, name, and other properties).

As you can see, in the screenshot, the frequency of frames is not marked, but usually it is necessary to mark it, if only you have the FPS is displayed the game itself, or another program.

After that, I advise you to see what is hidden in other tabs of this panel, especially in the extreme right - the interface.

Setting up OED MSI Afterburner

So, to configure the FPS display and monitor data during the game, in the same settings pane, locate the OED tab, and there - the "Advance" button. Klot her!

OED Settings window opened. In it, you must do the following things:

1. Make sure the OED display switch is in the ON position (if not, you know what to do!).
2. Optionally: turn on if suddenly the anti-ht in the game swears.
3. Optionally: affects the method of display (roughly speaking, on the font) OED. It is best to choose Raster 3D, you can configure the font, clicking on the inscription Raster 3D again.
4. The shadow of the font is better to enable (switch to the ON position).
5. Choose OED font color to your taste!
6. Squares at the corners of the monitor - fast way Move OED to the desired monitor angle. And you can simply drag the OED with the mouse, or to set its coordinates manually.

Here, perhaps, all about fast setting MSI AfterBurner for monitoring the processor and video card in the game. If you need detailed review program opportunities, see one of best video On this topic from Artem:

Hello everyone would like to tell you how to find out what the workload of the processor in this moment. I'll show it on the example of Windows 7, but in other versions of Windows everything is also about as well. The processor is perhaps the most important device in the computer and in general in another similar technique, well, I mean PDA, tablets and even smartphones.

Windows 7 allows you to look at how much the processor is loaded at this time and which program. You know, here are some users buy powerful processorThis is of course cool, but they take it with the goal so that there is nothing on the computer. And I also understand it. But the joke is that with such a processor really does not slow anything and all because the modern top-level processor is so powerful that the computer will work quickly even if it is a bunch of garbage. This is me all to the fact that in fact the computer can quickly work even at the proceeds of a decade ago. Here is the whole thing in optimization, which today is just that there is no unnecessary programsthat you do not need .. and all ..

Well, of course, I do not mean some Pentium there is 478 socket there, there will most likely be brakes. But for example, Windows 10 can safely work on the same Pentium D (775 socket) and even simply

So, go to our topic. To find out as far as the processor is loaded, you first need to start the task manager. To do this click right-click On the panel and select this item:

The dispatcher will open, they immediately go to the Speed \u200b\u200btab:

See there there are graphics? Well, here, there is a schedule loading CPU, here in it is just displayed as a percentage loading of the project. Opposite this column, you can notice a graph or charts that the chronology of the CPU load is written. These graphics, that's how many of them, so many nuclei of your processor. But then there is another problem that Windows flows takes for the kernel to find out how many streams and how many nuclei, I advise you to use free utility CPU-Z.

On these charts, download and chronology, there may look like a real-time processor. In general, I hope you understand. Now how to find out which prog drives the processor? For example, I will run and there turn on the performance test:

That is, I specifically created the load of the proq and now see how to find out who exactly drives the processor. In the dispatcher, go to the Process tab and click on the CPU column and look closely at whom most percent:

Well, that is, as you can see, it is easy to understand that the process of winrar.exe and loads percent! If you do not know what this program is, you can see the description in the column, the name of the program is usually indicated there. But maybe such that is empty there. Then you right-click on the process and choose open storage location, the folder will open where the process starts. Look carefully on the folder name, it can tell what the program is. Well, here is an example, here is the folder from which the WinRar.exe process started:

At the top you can see the name open folderIn this case, this name is the same as the name of the program. Well, I think that everything has already become clear here.

In Windows 10, see who ships percent a little easier, there simply in the dispatcher you need to press the CPU column on the left in the column the name will be seen what is for the program, in general, everything is almost also only more convenient somehow done:

Well, as a bonus, I will show how to find out how many processor streams you have and how many cores. As I already wrote, if the percentages supports Hyper-Threading technology, the Windows itself will be in the dispatcher to show streams as kernels. However, there is a way to see how many streams, it is just a bit tall. You need to create any file with the NFO extension and open it, the mall message will not be able to open, and then after clicking OK, the window will appear. There will be a string where the Proceas model will be indicated and how many nuclei as well as how many logical processors. These are streams!

Regarding streams, here in Windows 10 there is already a division, well, that is, it is indicated how many nuclei and how many streams, look where the streams are indicated (and the kernel above):

But advanced users still use the CPU-Z utility

CPU-Z download on the Internet is easy, it almost does not every corner, it is a free and small utility, it is easy to install it and it is not necessary at all if the version is portable. Just downloaded and launched, for example, I have a Pentium G3220 processor and that's what the utility has shown, information is enough.
