Say hello to some of the latest features for the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers (Intel® GPA) tool suite.
Additional Functionality in Graphics Frame Analyzer
Diff Mode
This features enables you to see the difference any experiment makes both on a performance and visual level. The Diff View Mode shows exactly what portion of a Render Target was directly affected by the applied experiment.
Multiframe View
Screenshots
Quickly navigate through a stream to identify a frame of interest and never second guess whether a frame number will match up with the intended scene.
System-Wide Metrics
View metrics across your system during the time of a stream capture by enabling System-Wide Metrics. Directly correlate GPU time with additional metrics on your system during frametime spikes to identify additional contributors to game performance.
Graphics Trace Analyzer
Parallel Execution Event Track
Turn on Parallel Event Execution to view a track of GPU-intensive calls such as dispatch and draw calls on a more representative timeline that shows event parallelization.
UI Improvement
Scalable UI Elements
Customize each tool's font and element size with the new scalable UI choices. Choose between small, medium, and large to personalize the look of each tool individually.
Intel® GPA Framework
Added the ability to replay a range of callables for Direct3D12 streams.
Added Vulkan* Pipeline Statistics Timestamp Query Manager support. Query Manager will default to the Vulkan Pipeline Statistics Timestamp Query Manager if Intel metrics aren't found and can be specified programmatically.
Added a new event/message dispatch system for communication between decoupled systems, this enables inter-layer communication.
