Frame Analysis for Desktop API Graphics Applications

Graphics Frame Analyzer uses a frame capture file to visualize exactly what is happening within your game on a frame-by-frame basis.

A typical framework analysis workflow is as follows:

1.	Create a frame capture file for analysis	To capture a specific frame, you can: Use Ctrl+Shift+C within the System Analyzer or System Analyzer HUD while your game is running. Use the Capture Frame button within the System Analyzer interface. Use an option within the Graphics Monitor interface to capture a frame whenever a certain trigger occurs (for example, when the frame rate drops below 10 FPS). You can capture multiple frames without stopping and restarting the game.
2.	Load the frame capture file	Launch the Graphics Frame Analyzer to select the frame capture you want to analyze. You can analyze a frame locally, or connect to a remote target system where the Graphics Monitor is running to analyze your frame in the network mode.
3.	Analyze the captured frame	Explore the performance impact of specific API calls in the frame at different stages of the rendering pipeline: Analyze metrics data for individual events and event groups Run experiments that modify render states within the graphics driver to find potential bottlenecks in your application quickly Determine whether texture bandwidth is an issue Modify states and shaders Analyze pixel history to minimize overdraw
