20 TECH ADVISOR • JUNE 2020WINDOWS 10
Windows 10’s Task Manager just keeps on adding
more information. Note the GPU temp, but also
the device type (SSD) in the Storage section, tooFPS counters, which you can access via Steam and
some other GPU tools, provide a handy way of tracking
how well your PC’s hardware is meeting the game’s
demands. Dip too far down, and you may want to dial
back a setting or two to preserve a smooth experience.
With the ongoing FPS counter (which tracks FPS over
the past 60 seconds) you have an in-Windows tool to
monitor gameplay. Note that the Game Bar already lets
you track CPU and GPU usage, and take screenshots- capabilities that Microsoft added previously.
