Hi

It would be possible to add support for NVperfHUD profiler?
It's quite a good tool for performance tuning.

aargh

I asked for this a year ago but had no reply, so don't hold your breath.

I did it many years ago for a project and it is only a few lines of code when setting up the D3D device. I can't remember exactly now, but this should tell you everything you need to know.

Take a look at pages 5 to 7.

If you learn to use this tool (very easy to learn, just read the tutorial and guide here http://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-perfhud) you will find it very helpful with optimising EE. perfHUD will show you all sorts of detailed info about your scene and shader complexity and draw calls.

Doesn't work with AMD GPUs which is what Esenthel is using if my memory doesn't fail me unless he has changed cards since last he mentioned what GPU he was using.

That's OK. AMD have there own, which is almost as easy to integrate as nvidia's tool. It's called GPUPerfAPI.

Check out the User Guide pdf on that page for integration and usage details.

Btw according to this site, GPUPerf works on Nvidia too:

Therefore if you compile your EE app using DX10+ (GPUPerf doesnt support dx9) you should be able to profile it through GPU Perf (cannot test this because im running dx9 with XP).
GPUPerf requires no integration, it just connect to the executable.
Perhaps you should give it a try...
