# Node type view

Explore the node type view of Infrafit

Identify wasted node resources and gain optimization insights to select the right nodes to better serve your environment's needs with the Node Types view.

**GPU** and **GPU Memory Over Time**

When PerfectScale detects active GPU resources within a cluster, it automatically enables GPU and GPU memory widgets and utilization insights in the UI. Learn more about GPU resources optimization [here](/visibility-and-optimization/gpu-optimization.md).
