BI reports 0% activity GPU in Status Overview, but Task Manager does

BI reports 0% activity GPU in Status Overview, but Task Manager does.

I have been a bit mystified that my Nvidia T600 GPU shows 0% activity in Status>Overview and no GPU activity between my i7-7700 CPU % and RAM on the main BI camera display screen. It does show up for a few minutes after a reboot or closing down BI and reopening. I have a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF with a total of 16GB RAM. However Task Manager>Performance does shows my T600 as GPU 1 and active, whilst my GPU 0 the onboard Intel HD Graphics 630 reports as 0%.


I have in W10 System>Display>Graphics Settings set to ON for hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and chosen Blue Iris by choosing blueiris in Windows C:>Program Files> Blue Iris> Blueiris an Application in Graphic settings as Graphic performance preference. This then prints my choice of my T600 in Windows when running Blue Iris, as I have too in Blue Iris itself Settings>AI>Built in using DirectML/ONNX in there my choice NVIDIA T600.


My current explanation is that BI for GPU % is reporting my onboard HD 630 GPU status not my Nvidia T600 which in a way is being treated as a co-processor.


It's just a pity that I need to open Task Manager to view my BI GPU activity.

Additional: for each of my 8 cameras in Camera Settings>Video I have set Hardware decode as Nvidia NVDEC and GPU 1 not so far Also BVR

also try looking at HWINFO64 app to get more detailed sensor data.

I don't think people are using NVDEC decode too heavily with the onset of substreams and AI.
are you running w10 pro? im on BI 6.0.8.4
I know my system is utilizing the GPU clocks but yes BI isn't always displaying GPU info.
It fluctuates with calls to AI.
I wonder if certain version of bi are better at dipsplaying that or if it's a known bug.
tried uninstalling Nvidia drivers and using the Studio drivers?
Any lingering Code Project Ai installs on the system?


the t600 is similar to the GTX 1650.
While it isn't likely to handle too many BI intensive tasks simultaneously, it does work.
I have a GTX 1060 that can be saturated by AI calls to view motion.

Vary degrees of tinkering with NVDEC and AI can freeze( unresponsive) my i5-4590.
and can also bring my 3060 RTX and i7-8700 to a crawl and a freeze.



You could try globally turning off all hardware decode in settings, and if your on BI v 6
and then see if AI is able to handle your requests.
