    • Users can select the API to profile in the Range Profiler to focus on profiling a particular API.
  • Increased Performance when Running RTX Applications
    • Tracking options for acceleration structure builds have been changed and a more performant default option is offered. Projects using the previous tracking mode will be updated to the new equivalents.
    • Users are now warned when their acceleration structure build patterns interfere with the analysis and are offered guidance on how to improve their compatibility with Nsight Graphics.
  • Added the Nsight Aftermath SDK to the Nsight Graphics package
