Rendering Tools
NVIDIA tools are libraries, APIs, and SDKs that optimize system performance and identify bottlenecks to improve application efficiency. The NVIDIA Nsight™ tool suite includes Nsight Graphics, Nsight Systems, Nsight Perf SDK, and other software for debugging and profiling various systems, including GPU, CPU, and remote cluster environments.
Nsight Graphics
NVIDIA Nsight Graphics is a standalone developer tool that enables you to debug, profile, and export frames built with Direct3D (11, 12, DXR), the NVIDIA Vulkan Ray Tracing Extension, OpenGL, OpenVR, and the Oculus SDK.

Nsight Perf SDK
NVIDIA Nsight Perf SDK is a graphics profiling toolbox for DirectX, Vulkan, and OpenGL, enabling you to collect GPU performance metrics directly from your application.
Nsight Aftermath SDK
NVIDIA Nsight Aftermath SDK is a simple library you integrate into your Direct3D 12 (D3D12) or Vulkan game’s crash reporter to generate GPU "mini-dumps" when a timeout detection and recovery (TDR) or exception occurs.
