2.) ... Why doesn't the graphics card monitor work on some computers?
3.) ... see GPU usage by an application / program!
4.) ... Detect video memory consumption of a specific application! 
5.) ... This is how you see the total usage of the graphics card! !

1.) When does the graphics card monitoring start working?

These GPU features were added in Windows 10 Creators Update and are present in Windows 11, also known as Windows 10 Version 1709. If you are using Windows 7, 8, or an older version of Windows 10, these tools will not appear in your Task- manager displayed.

Windows + R and command: winver



2.) Why doesn't the graphics card monitor work on some computers?

Under Windows 10 / 11, this information is only available in the task manager for WDDM 2.0 GPUs. If you don't know if you have it, or if your GPU supports it, it's pretty easy to check!

If you see a "WDDM 2.x" driver here, your system is compatible. If you see a "WDDM 1.x" driver here, your GPU is not compatible.

Is exclusively described here:
