Software to monitor current load and history of GPU?

[doctoree]

HI,
there are many apps which can monitor CPU load and history but I was never able to find a comparable app to monitor these same stats of the GPU.
No with Snow Leopard, Open CL and Quicktime Xs GPU support coming up such a tool becomes more and more important.
Right now the only way of "guestimating" my GPUs load is to closely watch its temp sensors....
Any ideas?

Does iStat not suit your needs?

No because it only monitors CPU stuff. Doesn't it?

You are quite right. I have wondered myself about such a thing.

Maybe this:
http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/profiler_image.html

And for NVIDIA cards under Windows, maybe this:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nvperfhud_home.html

I'm not sure if either does exactly what I think we both would like.

Cool, interesting apps. Especially the OpenGL Profiler. Unfortunately the way GPUs work makes it hard to output an exact percentage for its load I think

Wow, that's a really clean and powerful app I have never heard of before.
It also shows you how your graphics ram is doing and it's free!
Thank you!
