Industry Buzz
  • “GPA is already better than PIX for Windows. Though I still use PIX for debugging, GPA’s much better for performance data”


  • “GPA was absolutely crucial for optimising the game for Intel Integrated Graphics and, quite unexpectedly, it’s also proven to be a good graphics debugger.”


  • “We could see exactly where our bottlenecks were on integrated graphics, and run experiments to solve them real-time. It saved us tons of time in contrast to making changes offline in code and then running builds to verify the results.”


  • “The Intel Graphics Performance Analyzers helped us mainly by reducing development time since the tool provides a focus on specific problem areas….The tool is fairly intuitive and easy to gain benefit from immediately.”


  • “Our games perform much better across a wider range of hardware than ever before… This means more customers can play our games and have a great, high-frame rate experience”


  • “We're excited about GPA because it will help us to tap into the millions of IIG machines which make up an important part of our target demographic.”
