Hi, one user in blendpolis.de shows us some very interesting string for nvidia-smi in linux:

nvidia-smi -q -d MEMORY | grep -A 2 Mem

Don´t know about windows but try:

nvidia-smi -q -d MEMORY

Cheers, mib.

Interesting & thanks for the tip.

I have 245MB used while not doing anything, just browsing the net... too much, imo :)

You need xosd or compile by yourself:
