How to check VRAM usage in Windows 11 using Task Manager

Computers have several crucial components inside them and one such component is VRAM which stands for Video Random Access Memory and is part of a discrete graphics card or GPU installed on your PC. It is responsible for loading and executing graphics-intensive tasks.

On desktop computers, it’s a modular component that can be replaced with another GPU, but on laptops, the component is soldered onto the motherboard, which means it can’t be changed. If you want to check some VRAM information on your device, there are several ways to do it.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to quickly and easily check some basic VRAM information, including available memory, usage data, and temperature on your computer via the built-in Task Manager application.

How to check VRAM usage in Windows 11 using Task Manager

Step 1: Open the Task Manager on your computer. For this, you can search for the application in the Start menu and select it from there or press the CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys on your keyboard.

Step 2: When the app opens, click on the “Performance” tab from the sidebar.

Step 3: Under the Performance tab, you will be able to see GPU usage data.

You will find all the GPUs installed on your computer listed in the left pane. For more than one GPU, they will be listed as GPU 0, GPU 1, and so on. Click the GPU for which you want to check memory and usage information, which will be displayed in the right pane.

In addition to the current use of the graphics processors on your computer, it also displays information about the GPU temperature. There are also several third-party applications that will provide more details about the GPU, but if you just need basic information, simply check the information through the Task Manager.
