In their own words
Intel PresentMon
Intel PresentMon is a free Windows application for monitoring and measuring gaming performance. It combines a customizable overlay, GPU telemetry, and capture functions for viewing data during or after a gaming session. The overlay can show real-time multi-line charts and histograms, plus raw numbers, percentiles, and rolling-window averages. Its GPU Busy metric presents CPU and GPU balance and resource use to help locate performance bottlenecks. PresentMon works with Intel Arc graphics cards and Intel Core processors, as well as hardware from other vendors. It supports applications using DirectX 12, DirectX 11, DirectX 9, OpenGL, and Vulkan on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Command-line functions support batch testing and automation. Intel describes it as open source, with third-party integration through the PresentMon SDK and API. Starting a trace requires Windows Performance Log Users membership or administrator privileges. GPU execution metrics may be less accurate with Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling enabled.
