The GPU Compute Usage chart displays GPU compute usage for the top 10 graphics devices on the host with the most GPU compute usage.

This chart is located in the GPUs view of the host Performance tab.
Note: The GPUs view is visible only if the host supports GPUs.
Table 1. Data Counters
Chart Labels Description

Chart Analysis

GPU Compute Usage (%) is vendor and architecture specific. High utilization may suggest that the GPU is used effectively, or it may indicate potential bottlenecks during peak workloads.

If a virtual machine is experiencing a Quality of Service (QoS) issue, please refer to the GPU vendor QoS documentation. If you use NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) technology, see the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software for VMware vSphere documentation for more information.
