Viewing video memory in use

Is there a way to view how much graphics card memory a game is using with something like Windows Task Manager? (Or even with that program if it is possible.) Maybe I`m missing something obvious? Thanks for any advice, Jason.

No can do under OpenGL, apparently, since it's unmanaged. Under DirectX it's possible (BlitzPlus could tell you, for example) but blitzmax doesn't appear to have the capability built in.

Over at blitzforum.de there's a little app which shows swap-,graphics- and main-memory usage. http://www.blitzforum.de/upload/file.php?id=745 .In Blitz3d there's AvailVidMem()/TotalVidMem().
