Dell Precision Optimizer User's Guide

CPU and GPU Intelligence

You can review CPU or graphics subsystem details by clicking the CPU Details or GPU Details links in the CPU or graphics dials on the Optimization page.

The CPU or GPU Intelligence Chart Activity page allows you to view the current processor and graphics subsystem utilizations. You can view the detail of your processor and graphics configurations.

To enable the collection and display of various processor or graphics data elements, toggle Charting from Off to On.

After enabling charting for CPU data, Dell Precision Optimizer starts collecting CPU data and displays it for all logical processors in the system. Similarly, when you enable the Charting for Graphics subsystem, the Dell Precision Optimizer starts collecting data and displays that data for all graphics processors found in the system.

NOTE:
  • Graphics data collection is supported for NVIDIA and AMD graphics adapters running the latest drivers. If you have Switchable Graphics enabled in the system BIOS, your graphics application may not execute on your NVIDIA or AMD controller. Therefore, you may not see any GPU utilization change.
  • Graphics data only displays the name and driver information for the first active graphics adapter found in the system. If you have more than one graphics adapter (but different models), the name, driver, or the version of the first one is displayed. However, the performance data (like utilization, temperature, and so on) for all active adapters are displayed.
