Improvements in previous versions

Integrated tools

GPU PerfStudio 2 integrates four 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, a Shader Debugger that allows you to step through and analyze your shader code and its output, and an API Trace window with integrated CPU timing information.

This screen shot shows the Frame Profiler and, Frame Debugger in use at the same time. In this scenario the profiler was used to identify an expensive draw call. The draw call was selected in the blue list on the right hand side causing the Frame Debugger to jump to that draw call. The vertex and index buffer, the texture assets, and depth buffer for this draw call are currently displayed. The pixel shader code can be stepped through where the relationship between the code and assets can be thoroughly explored to identify costly aspects of the shader.
