Hey guys,

Is there a Mac Pro 5.1 user with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 where the GPU history is displayed correctly in the Activity Monitor?

I only use audio software, but my graphics slow down more than usual during large sessions. I only see a blank box under Activity Monitor GPU History. Does anyone have an idea why that is and how I could alternatively check if my GPU is running at its limit or not working properly?

My System:
Mac Pro 5.1 (2010) with ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB running High Sierra

Thanks for any insight!
 
worth a go, they have a demo

if it's audio software i dont think it will be the gpu, is the cpu maxed out? (may be maxed out on just one core if it's not well threaded)

i think activity monitor only displays GPU on newer GPU's, my GT 120 i think displays just a black box
