NVIDIA Announces NVPerfKit 2.1 Suite of Tools

NVIDIA Corporation today announced NVPerfKit 2.1, a comprehensive suite of next-generation performance tools for the debugging and profiling of OpenGL and Direct3D software applications for Windows and Linux.

Developers working on 32- and 64-bit Linux or Windows platforms can now benefit from the same technology that powers the NVIDIA NVPerfHUD performance analysis tool, a robust profiling and visual debugging heads-up display (HUD) program for Direct3D applications supporting Microsoft DirectX 9.0c and Windows XP on select NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). Developers using NVPerfHUD 4 experience an average performance improvement of 35%, and find an average of 11 rendering bugs. Dan Speed, graphics engine programmer at CCP Games, relies on NVIDIA performance tools to streamline the development process and pinpoint problems in the creation of games such as Eve Online, a science fiction, Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG). ?NVPerfHUD proved extremely easy to integrate, and has become an indispensable tool in telling us where we're being foolish, by giving us impressive performance gains for key content in Eve Online.?
