What is NVPerfKit?

NVPerfKit: Elevate Your Performance Analysis

NVPerfKit is a powerful suite of performance tools designed to assist in debugging and profiling OpenGL and Direct3D applications. By providing access to low-level performance counters within the driver and hardware counters within the GPU, NVPerfKit offers detailed insights into how your application utilizes the GPU, allowing you to pinpoint and address performance issues effectively.

Key Features of NVPerfKit:

• Supports GeForce 8 and 9 series GPUs, as well as earlier models


• Compatible with DirectX10 on Windows Vista and DirectX 9 on Windows XP and Vista


• Supports Managed and XNA applications


• No special driver required on Windows Vista
