Monitoring graphics card use


Is there any way I can find out how busy my graphics card is?

It's easy enough to see what's going on with the CPU, the memory, et al, but I have no idea where to look for the graphics card.

Its called a Monitor...

If its blank, or just sitting there. The graphics card isnt busy. If its playing a video, its moderately busy. 3d game? its maxed out.
