NVIDIA Nsight Graphics

Range-Based GPU Profiling

• Automated performance limiter analysis identifies optimization opportunities
• Collect workload-specific timings and performance counters with a curated or user-driven list of metrics

GPU Trace

• Analyze GPU throughput and utilization with minimal overhead
• Drill down into Performance markers and inspect hardware unit throughputs, SM occupancy, instruction and memory throughput, cache hit rates, and much more

Nsight Aftermath

• Debug GPU crashes and hangs on DirectX 12 and DirectX Raytracing applications
• Inspect shader unit state, including the exact line of shader source, with the helpful GPU dump viewer in Nsight Graphics

DXR Debugging

• Debug your ray tracing API calls and examine DXR state
• Ray tracing specific tools, like the Acceleration Structure Viewer, ease common pain points of developing your ray tracing application

C++ Capture Export

• Create a self-contained C++ project that allows for frame analysis in a reduced CPU-load scenario, without requiring the original application
• Perform repeatable, isolated analysis and experiments

Pixel History

• Identify and browse through all of the events that contributed to a pixel
• See source color and depth, pass/fail, and primitive information
