Turns out Sysinternals' Process Explorer can do this (of course it can, there's nothing it can't do, apparently!).

Process Hacker, the open source alternative to Process Explorer, also shows the GPU usage.

Press CTRL+I to get the system information Window and click on the GPU Tab, so get a graph with the GPU usage.

AMD Catalyst Control Center has an indicator of GPU activity in the Performance section. I would assume nVidia software has a similar output. It's usually associated with overclocking.
