Using GPUView
GPUView (GPUView.exe) is a development tool for determining the performance of the graphics processing unit (GPU) and CPU. It looks at performance with regard to direct memory access (DMA) buffer processing and all other video processing on the video hardware. GPUView is useful for developing display drivers that comply with the Windows Vista display driver model. GPUView is introduced with the release of the Windows 7 operating system.
GPUView and other files that are associated with it are included with the Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) as an installable option of the WPT MSI. GPUView binaries are available for x86-based, x64-based, and IA64-based architectures. For example, Wpt_x86.msi is for an x86 platform.
