GPU Debugging and Profiling with NVIDIA Parallel Nsight

NVIDIA Parallel Nsight is a development tool integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio that can help you debug and profile the rendering and GPGPU code in your game. Any application using Direct3D 10 or 11, running on a Tesla class chip or beyond, can utilize the powerful Parallel Nsight features inside the Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 IDEs. The graphics API inspection capability, simple frame profiling, and some of the tracing capabilities are available when running on graphics hardware from other vendors, including AMD and Intel.
