Windows – Amount of VRAM in use

64-bitvramwindows 7

When you go to the task manager, you can see how much RAM you're using.

Is there any way to find out how much VRAM you are using?

W7 64 bit here.
ATI Radeon HD 4890 card

EDIT:

GPU-Z and HWiNFO don't work.

ATI provides a tool too, but it keeps displaying 35MB in use. No matter what programs and games are open.

PerfStudio works, but is to advanced for everyday use, it is for analysing system recources while running a game. Has a built-in debugger and everything.

Note: As it stands it appears this is only valid for Nvidia cards, GPU-Z does not appear to be able to get this information on Ati cards.

You can see how much video memory is in use on any reasonably new Nvidia graphics card using GPU-z, which you can get from http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

For example my card shows:

Note the "Memory Used" field. I believe this should be available on almost all current cards, though I don't have an Ati card to check.
