The Activity Monitor utility is very useful for monitoring CPU, network and disk activity ... but not GPU activity. I need to be able to see if the second GPU on my system is actually being put to work by the video editing and processing software I use. Anybody have any suggestions?
MacPro6,1 D500, MacOS 9.5.5
Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 6 Core
Read this section of anandtech's review of the Mac Pro 6,1 for some ideas:

Thanks Grant, but I think I read that article the day after unpacking my MacPro. :-) I was surprised that Apple hadn't updated Activity Monitor to show me what the 2 GPUs were doing.
I want a monitor app that will show me what's happening under the hood when I am rendering a video or applying an effect. Have you ever run iStat Menus 5 on a MacPro6,1?
I cited section 9 of that article because he used some tools to take some measurements and comparisons of the two GPU workloads. Those are not tools I am familiar with, but if GPU comparison tools is what you seek, Anandtech was using some and putting their charts and graphs in the article. iStat menus was not among the tools he chose.
No, thanks anyway. I'm not looking for a comparison tool or benchmarking method. I'm looking for a GPU activity monitor.
Does anyone have an app for GPU activity?
