Follow Step 1 to collect data (
):1.1. Select a data collection type:
Frame [DX11]: choose this mode to monitor real-time metrics and capture a frame for DirectX 11 applications.
Frame [DX12]: choose this mode to monitor real-time metrics and capture a frame for DirectX 12 applications. This mode supports DirectX 12 Ultimate features, like Mesh Shading and Ray Tracing.
Stream: choose this mode to capture a sequence of frames. This can be useful for isolating sporadic performance problems that only affect a subset of frames.
Trace: choose this mode to monitor real-time metrics and capture a trace.
1.2. Select an application for analysis:
Enables you to choose and start a desktop application for analysis.
Enables you to choose and start a universal Windows* application for analysis.
1.3. Run the application by clicking the Run Application button.
Follow Step 2 to analyze data (
