Intel PresentMon: Game Performance Monitor and Analyzer

PresentMon, Intel’s benchmarking tool, provides crucial metrics for optimizing your gaming experience. It measures GPU and CPU usage, frame times, temperatures, and introduces a new ‘GPU Busy’ metric to pinpoint system bottlenecks.

Key Features

Configurable Overlay with Real-time Graphing: A customizable overlay displays real-time performance charts (multi-line graphs and histograms), showing raw numbers, percentiles, and averages.

Bottleneck Detection: The innovative “GPU Busy” metric reveals real-time CPU/GPU balance, helping you identify performance limitations.

Combined Telemetry and Capture: PresentMon merges performance and GPU telemetry data for comprehensive analysis during and after gaming sessions.

Broad Compatibility: Works with Intel Arc graphics and Intel Core processors, but also supports other hardware. Its open-source nature allows integration into third-party applications. Supports DirectX 12, 11, 9, OpenGL, and Vulkan APIs on Windows 10 and 11. Command-line options are available for advanced users.
