[*] Note that new NVIDIA® Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition supported metrics vary be version and GPU architure.
[1] NVIDIA® Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition 5.3 and later supports GP100 debugging and CUDA trace, but not CUDA profiling. Please use the CUDA Visual Profiler from the CUDA toolkit for profiling.
[2] NVIDIA® Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition 6.0 and later supports CUDA debugging in WDDM and TCC mode on Pascal and later family GPUs using the Next-Gen CUDA debugger. See below for more details on the Next-Gen CUDA debugger.
[3] NVIDIA® Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition 5.5 and later supports CUDA debugging in WDDM mode on Pascal family GPUs using the Legacy CUDA debugger. See below for more details on the Legacy CUDA debugger.
[4] NVIDIA® Nsight™ Visual Studio Edition 5.5 supports CUDA debugging in TCC and WDDM mode on pre-Pascal family GPUs using the Legacy CUDA debugger. See below for more details on the Legacy CUDA debugger.

Supported Compute Debugger Configurations

Legacy and Next-Gen CUDA Debuggers

CUDA Debugger support for Pascal and Volta family GPUs is undergoing a transition that requires a new Nsight Visual Studio Edition compute debugger we are calling Next-Gen.

The 'Legacy' compute debugger, provided in Nsight Visual Studio Edition 6.0 and earlier, will not support Pascal (or later) GPUs running with TCC mode drivers or Volta (or later) GPUs in either TCC or WDDM mode.

The 'Next-Gen' compute debugger will support Pascal, Volta, and Turing GPUs.

Starting with Nsight Visual Studio Edition 5.5, both the Legacy and Next-Gen compute debuggers are available on the Visual Studio NSIGHT menu.

In Nsight Visual Studio Edition 5.5 and 5.6,

  • Pascal and Volta hardware may be debugged in the TCC driver mode using the Next-Gen CUDA debugger
  • Pascal GPUs may be debugged in the WDDM driver mode using the Legacy CUDA debugger
  • Maxwell and earlier GPUs may be debugged using the Legacy CUDA debugger

In Nsight Visual Studio Edition version 6.0 thru 2019.4, the Next-Gen CUDA debugger supports

  • Turing family GPU debugging in the TCC driver mode
  • Pascal, Volta, and Turing family GPU debugging in the WDDM driver mode with 410.29 or later drivers and win10 RS4 or later using the Next-Gen CUDA debugger
  • See Supported configurations as of v2019.4

In Nsight Visual Studio Edition version 2020.1 and later,

  • Next-Gen CUDA debugger
    • Supports NVIDIA A100 GPU debugging (note that TCC driver mode is the only supported mode for r445 and r450 drivers)
    • Supports Pascal, Volta, and Turing family GPU debugging in both TCC & WDDM driver mode with win10 RS4 or later
    • 445.53 or later drivers are required as of Nsight VSE version 2020.1 to use the latest Next-Gen debugger
    • Win 7 support has been dropped
  • Legacy CUDA debugger
    • Supports Maxwell family GPU debugging in both TCC & WDDM driver mode
    • 445.53 or later drivers are required as of Nsight VSE version 2020.1 to use WDDM on the latest Legacy debugger
    • Win 7 support has been dropped
    • Kepler Family GPU support has been dropped or deprecated

In Nsight Visual Studio Edition version v2024.4 and later,

  • Next-Gen CUDA debugger
    • Supports Microsoft Compute Driver Model (MCDM) GPU debugging (note that the r555 driver does not work in MCDM mode with Hopper GPUs, but is expected to work in later driver versions).

Please refer to the table below for supported compute debugger, driver, GPU, and OS configurations.

Supported configuration for the CUDA debugger
CUDA debugger is incompatible with this GPU, driver, and/or OS
UNSUPPORTED Unsupported by the CUDA debugger. Multi-context applications will not work
N/A Invalid GPU/driver combination
