Constants

 
D3D10_COUNTER_GPU_IDLE
Value: 0
Percentage of the time that the GPU is idle.
D3D10_COUNTER_VERTEX_PROCESSING
Percentage of the time that the GPU does vertex processing.
D3D10_COUNTER_GEOMETRY_PROCESSING
Percentage of the time that the GPU does geometry processing.
D3D10_COUNTER_PIXEL_PROCESSING
Percentage of the time that the GPU does pixel processing.
D3D10_COUNTER_OTHER_GPU_PROCESSING
Percentage of the time that the GPU does other processing (not vertex, geometry, or pixel processing).
D3D10_COUNTER_HOST_ADAPTER_BANDWIDTH_UTILIZATION
Percentage of bandwidth used on a host adapter. Value returned by ID3D10Asynchronous::GetData between 0.0 and 1.0 when using this counter.
D3D10_COUNTER_LOCAL_VIDMEM_BANDWIDTH_UTILIZATION
Percentage of bandwidth used by the local video memory. Value returned by ID3D10Asynchronous::GetData between 0.0 and 1.0 when using this counter
D3D10_COUNTER_VERTEX_THROUGHPUT_UTILIZATION
Percentage of throughput used for vertices. Value returned by ID3D10Asynchronous::GetData between 0.0 and 1.0 when using this counter
D3D10_COUNTER_TRIANGLE_SETUP_THROUGHPUT_UTILIZATION
Percentage of throughput used for triangle setup. Value returned by ID3D10Asynchronous::GetData between 0.0 and 1.0 when using this counter
D3D10_COUNTER_FILLRATE_THROUGHPUT_UTILIZATION
Percentage of throughput used for the fillrate. Value returned by ID3D10Asynchronous::GetData between 0.0 and 1.0 when using this counter.
D3D10_COUNTER_VS_MEMORY_LIMITED
Percentage of time that a vertex shader spends sampling resources.
D3D10_COUNTER_VS_COMPUTATION_LIMITED
Percentage of time that a vertex shader spends doing computations.
D3D10_COUNTER_GS_MEMORY_LIMITED
Percentage of time that a geometry shader spends sampling resources.
D3D10_COUNTER_GS_COMPUTATION_LIMITED
Percentage of time that a geometry shader spends doing computations.
D3D10_COUNTER_PS_MEMORY_LIMITED
Percentage of time that a pixel shader spends sampling resources.
D3D10_COUNTER_PS_COMPUTATION_LIMITED
Percentage of time that a pixel shader spends doing computations.
D3D10_COUNTER_POST_TRANSFORM_CACHE_HIT_RATE
Percentage of vertex data that was read from the vertex cache. For example, if 6 vertices were added to the cache and 3 of them were read from the cache, then the hit rate would be 0.5.
D3D10_COUNTER_TEXTURE_CACHE_HIT_RATE
Percentage of texel data that was read from the vertex cache. For example, if 6 texels were added to the cache and 3 of them were read from the cache, then the hit rate would be 0.5.
D3D10_COUNTER_DEVICE_DEPENDENT_0
Value: 0x40000000
Start of the device-dependent counters. See remarks.

Remarks

In addition to these performance counters, independent hardware vendors may define their own set of performance counters for their devices. The enum values for these counters would start after D3D10_COUNTER_DEVICE_DEPENDENT_0 and would be defined by those hardware vendors.

A device can support one or more of these performance counters, but it is not required to support any of them.
