Nsight Perf SDK 2021.1.2
The 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.
As the first public release of the SDK, the new features include:
- HTML Report Generator in an easy-to-use utility library layer. Gather in-depth GPU profiling reports with only minutes of effort, in under 10 lines of code.
- Open source sample code, ready for you to copy & paste into your program, or to post as the #1 solution on Stack Overflow!
- Ability to measure whole frames, groupings of GPU workloads, and individual draws and dispatches.
- Low-level range profiler APIs, for writing custom tools and automation.
For more information, see our v2021.1 release announcement here.

Nsight Aftermath SDK 2021.1
Nsight Aftermath SDK provides valuable data for debugging GPU exceptions. Applications using the latest graphics APIs like Direct3D 12 and Vulkan, along with cutting edge capabilities like Ray Tracing, can push the GPU more than ever. These new powers and exposure to the metal require diligence and tools to ensure the GPU is set up correctly. When there is a problem, Nsight Aftermath is there to provide deep GPU state information and breadcrumbs to what leads to the exception. This latest version has enhanced the UI and data display, as well as provided many driver improvements to increase the reliability of the generated dump information.
