Performance monitor can bring CPU, Mem, HD and Network usage. Where is the GPU load monitor?

The GPU is graphics card specific so there won't be a general tool that monitors this. Look for something specific to your graphics card. – ChrisF Feb 27 '11 at 14:22
@ChrisF: why that's not an answer? Now I am ashamed to write exactly same thing as an answer, and this question will stay as 'unanswered'. :) – Olli Feb 27 '11 at 14:35
@Olli - because I wasn't 100% sure (not having Windows 7 to double check). – ChrisF Feb 27 '11 at 14:57

GPU load monitoring is not a built-in feature in Windows, but there are third-party tools to do the job.

GPU-Z is a graphics card information tool that supports a number of monitoring options for graphics cards such as clock speeds, fan speed, memory load, GPU load and Video Engine load.

I believe it supports both ATI (AMD) and nVidia graphics cards.

This is a screen shot of my system while playing a h.264 video.

For my model it only shows the Clocks, not the load – Jader Dias Feb 27 '11 at 19:55

AMD System Monitor is pretty good. It gives you % CPU and GPU utilization.
