Can't see GPU usage

When our office got a new computer, I tested iray rendering because the computer had a good graphic card. However, a result was not impressive to me, so I installed a desk top gadget that was named GPU Observer. Again, a new result was not I wanted to see. GPU showed 0%... I posted a couple different places about this topic. Some people suggested installing a new graphic card driver so just in case, I checked mental ray log and found a line said ‘no CUDA capable devices found’. No driver supports CUDA… After installed a new driver, it works fine.
Even if, you get a new computer, you might need to install a driver.
If you don’t know how to check a log, see this blog.
