Integrated tools
GPU PerfStudio 2.0 integrates three tools that are key for the contemporary graphics developer;
A Frame Debugger that allows you to visualize the graphics state and resources in your frame, a Frame Profiler that allows you to identify per draw call performance issues at the hardware counter level, and a Shader Debugger that allows you to step through and analyze your shader code and its output.
This screen shot shows the Frame Profiler, Frame Debugger and Shader Debugger all in use at the same time. In this scenario the profiler was used to identify the most expensive draw calls. A draw call was selected in the orange list on the right hand side causing the Frame Debugger to jump to that draw call. The Texture assets and depth buffer for this draw call are currently displayed. The pixel shader code is being stepped through for this draw call, showing the images for the draw mask and value mask. The relationship between the code and assets can be thoroughly explored to identify costly aspects of the shader.
