Hi @Bohenidas,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Checking your GPU's condition typically involves monitoring its temperature, usage, and performance. Here are several methods you can use to check your GPU's condition:
Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac):
- On Windows, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, then click on the "Performance" tab. Under "GPU," you can see GPU usage and dedicated GPU memory usage.
- On macOS, open "Activity Monitor" and click on the "Window" menu, then select "GPU History." This will show you GPU usage.
NVIDIA Control Panel (NVIDIA GPUs):
- If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you can use the NVIDIA Control Panel to monitor GPU temperature, usage, and performance statistics.
AMD Radeon Software (AMD GPUs):
- If you have an AMD GPU, you can use the AMD Radeon Software to monitor GPU temperature, usage, and performance statistics.
Command Line (Windows):
- You can use the nvidia-smi command for NVIDIA GPUs or amdinfo for AMD GPUs in the Windows command prompt or PowerShell to display GPU information.
System Monitoring Tools:
- Tools like CPUID HWMonitor or HWiNFO can provide comprehensive system information, including GPU statistics. They offer temperature readings, fan speeds, and more.
Benchmarking Tools:
- Running a GPU benchmarking tool like 3DMark or Heaven Benchmark can stress test your GPU and provide performance information. It can also help identify any stability issues.
GPU Manufacturer's Software:
- NVIDIA and AMD offer their own software suites (NVIDIA GeForce Experience and AMD Radeon Software) that provide information and control over your GPU.
GPU-Z Web-Based Version:
- You can use the web-based version of GPU-Z (https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/) to check GPU information without installing any software.
Visual Inspection:
- Physically inspect the GPU for dust buildup. Ensure that the fans are clean and spinning properly. Overheating can lead to performance issues.
When checking your GPU's condition, pay attention to factors like temperature, usage percentages, clock speeds, and fan speeds. Abnormally high temperatures, utilization, or fan speeds may indicate a problem with your GPU or its cooling system.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
