Frame Debugger
– Select a draw call – View all game resources/state bound to the pipeline
Frame Profiler
– Identify costly draw calls – Identify GPU bottlenecks - investigate at the counter level
Shader Debugger/Editor
– Edit & Debug HLSL and Assembly code from inside your app – Step, insert breakpoints, inspect register values.
API Trace Viewer
– Inspect all API calls (with arguments) – Visualize multi-threaded API usage – CPU timeline information for each API call

GPU PERFSTUDIO 2 | What’s new since version 2.5?
Improved UI
– Access important data more quickly No more opening data windows and managing tabs – Unified layouts for each stage of the pipeline Same data same place – Custom User Layouts 4 custom user layout slots – design your own data layout – New image resource thumbnail viewer Allows the user to view image resources from different stages of the pipeline in one view Click to open a resource in a large window Improved save to disk options for image resources Depth and stencil image now combined in a single image view

GPU PERFSTUDIO 2 | What’s new since version 2.5?
Improved UI
– New index and vertex buffer inspection layout This new window shows the contents of the index buffer and vertex buffer View details about the input layout elements – New Properties window View render states, sampler states, and shader linkage in a properties viewer – Improved Shader Debugger window Larger modal window for better use of screen space Constant table UI improvements Constant buffers now display non-float data correctly – Profiler Simplified profiler results table State bucket grouping options have been moved to the results table Automatic sorting by the first counter
