Shader Debugging Made Easy with NVIDIA Nsight Graphics

Nvidia

Shaders are specialized programs that run on the GPU that manipulate rays, pixels, vertices, and textures to achieve unique visual effects. They’re essential in ray tracing for simulating realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections. We love shaders, but they can be hard to debug.
