Microsoft has rolled out a new Insider Preview Build for Windows 10. According to the company, the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16226 comes with a new performance tab in Task Manager, allowing gamers to track their GPU performance.
As Microsoft noted:
“The Performance tab shows GPU utilization information for each separate GPU component (such as 3D and Video encode/decode), as well as graphics memory usage stats. The Details tab shows you GPU utilization info for each process.”
This is a great addition, though we are pretty sure that most PC gamers already track their GPU performance via third-party tools (such as MSI Afterburner). Still, kudos to Microsoft for implementing such a requested feature.
In its current state, this feature is still under construction and Windows 10 Insider owners may encounter a number of issues and bugs.
This feature will come to all Windows 10 users at a later date!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
