    XBox Game Bar only showing Integrated GPU0 when game is playing on GPU1 (GTX). Can't find a...


    I'm trying to troubleshoot some performance issue with a game and so wanted to look at my PC performance when I noticed lag/slow down. I pulled up Xbox Game Bar and pinned the performance tab, but it's only showing my integrated GPU0 (which is not moving
    at 28%), however the game still slows down. I then opened up WIndows Task Manager and can see that my GTX950M (GPU1) is going near 100% when the game is slowing down. I know the game is using the GTX graphics as it shows so under the GeForce item in notification
    area. How do I change (or add) GPU1 to Xbox Game Bar?

    :)

    XBox Game Bar only showing Integrated GPU0 when game is playing on GPU1 (GTX). Can't find a way to switch GPU displayed in Game bar

    G v zauBerBerg,

    Thank you for your reply and information. For your information I checked the Driver Model and it says WDDM 2.5. Note, as I mentioned, I can see both GPU % utilization when I look at Task Manager, under Performance Tab, that's how I knew that the GeForce
    GTX video card was near maxing out when playing a game (AOEDE), however when I pull up Xbox Game Bar (so I can see the information while I play the game full screen), it only shows a single GPU (my integrated one), which is not being utilized for the game,
    which is why I want to add or swap GPU's being displayed by Xbox Game Bar.

    I assume my situation isn't unique (both integrated and dedicated graphics cards), so I would think there should be a pretty easy way for Xbox Game bar to allow you to pick which one to display.

    Any other ideas?

    Hi,

    Have you tried MSI Afterburner with your game.

    Afterburner can show your FPS and GPU usage with the touch of a button.

    Hi skunn999,

    I do not know how you could add a GPU at the game bar but in Windows 10, the GPU information is available in Task Manager using the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM), which is a special driver architecture that video cards must support to render
    the desktop and apps on the screen.

    Inside WDDM, there's the Graphics Kernel that includes a scheduler (VidSch) and video memory manager (VidMm), which are responsible for making decisions about using GPU resources.

    Task Manager gathers the GPU performance data directly from the Graphics Kernel's scheduler and video memory manager for both integrated and dedicated GPUs,
    but in order to work version 2.0 or later of WDDM is required.

    To check if your device supports GPU performance data in Task Manager, do the following:

    1. Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.
    2. Type the following command to open DirectX Diagnostic Tool and press Enter:

      dxdiag.exe
    3. Click the Display tab.
    4. On the right, under "Drivers, check the Driver Model information.
    If the Driver Model reads WDDM 2.0 or later, then Task Manager should list all your GPUs under the "Performance" tab. And so you can track the GPU also.

    Hope this helps

    Sorry no, I only take a look at these datas during the search for the possible origins of errors. But when I play games, I play games and so I do not need the information from the gamebar. I use 2 monitors and so the task manager is always visible! Maybe
    this possibility will also work for you. For example a TV as seconde screen?

    Cannot Run Sea of Thieves on Laptop (But Can on Desktop)

    I'm not sure why you are focusing on the graphics card. The game will run with only the integrated Intel graphics card. It doesn't even need a GTX. The game runs fine--it just won't connect to the Xbox network.
