NVIDIA has announced Nsight Graphics 2020.2, adding a number of features that expand functionality for Vulkan and making improvements to developer workflows for Microsoft Visual Studio users.

Features include:

• GPU Trace for Vulkan based applications, making it now possible to get primary and secondary command buffer timings, as well as barriers, synchronization objects, and user markers correlated to the GPU unit utilization and throughput metrics
• A new ‘Advanced Mode’ for advanced metrics collection. In this mode, GPU Trace will capture metrics over multiple frames, focusing on different metric sets for each frame. With 'Advanced Mode', you'll have access to many more critical counters to aid in profiling.
• Fully compatible with Vulkan 1.2
• Quick and easy access through a Microsoft Visual Studio integration plugin
• Nsight Aftermath support for Vulkan. Generate GPU crash dump files from Vulkan application and get detailed feedback on the GPU state at the time the exception occurred
