Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition supports 5 flexible hardware configurations:

• Single GPU System: For graphics developers focused on API level frame debugging and profiling and GPGPU developer debugging with the Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition CUDA C/C++ Debugger .
• Dual GPU System: The recommended single machine configuration for a GPGPU developer. This configuration supports both the Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition CUDA C/C++ Debugger and Analyzer.
• Two systems, each with one GPU: The recommended configuration for graphics developers who need the additional power of the Direct3D Shader Debugger, or developers doing both GPGPU and graphics tasks. Supports every GPGPU and graphics debugging, profiling and analysis feature of Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition.
• Notebook equipped with NVIDIA Optimus technology: The recommended single notebook machine configuration for a GPGPU developer. This configuration supports both the Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition CUDA C/C++ Debugger and Analyzer using NVIDIA Optimus technology.
• Dual GPU System with SLI MultiOS: The single machine configuration for both GPGPU and graphics developers. Supports every GPGPU and graphics debugging, profiling and analysis feature of Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition using SLI MultiOS GPU virtualization technlogy.
