Graphics Cards

[tumpo]

I have a small problem. I have to reboot PC/drivers once in a day because there is something eating GPU memory even if I close all games. Just did new driver reset after 20 hours or so. Closed Black Desert Online, which I have on at tray pretty much 24/7, and still 4GB of GPU memory in use.

GPU: XFX RX 480 8GB

Drivers: 18.5.1

So I'd like to know if there is any way to see which processes are using GPU memory and how much. I did not have this problem before I installed (I ran DDU first) 18.5.1 drivers, but I am not sure if this is the problem because I haven't found any reports similar to my problems.

What does task manager say is using any GPU time? Also, have you run Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D, and your preferred AV software to check for a miner malware?

Nothing alarming on task manager. I've scanned couple times, found nothing alarming. Spybot did find some tracking cookies etc.

Are you going by task manager or GPUz? One is right, one is very wrong.

Mostly I have used HWiNFO to watch GPU mem usage. Task Manager shows atm 2,0/8,0 GB dedicated and HWiNFO around 3GB, also GPU-Z shows around 3GB. I need to keep watching differences between task manager and HWiNFO more.

But I have had games crashing due to there is no more GPU memory tho.

I also have this fun thing that my drivers like to reset itself if I set manual fan speed. So it just did reset itself right after I closed Fortnite (Black Desert still running in the background), decided to see how much GPU memory is in use after the reset. Which one is more right?

Task manager.

Ok...I did not check Task Manager when my GPU memory has ran out but I'll do it next time it happens.

Do you have any graphics controller installed, such as Afterburner, trixx, Asus, etc?

[tumpo]

No.
