GPU Usage Tool in Visual Studio

with Rong Lu

The GPU Usage tool in Visual Studio can be used to understand the GPU usage of DirectX applications. Frame Time, Frame Rate, and GPU Utilization graphs are available while the application is running live. By collecting and analyzing detailed GPU usage data, this tool can provide insight into the CPU and GPU execution time of each DirectX event, which can be useful in determining whether the CPU or GPU is the performance bottleneck.
