One factor to consider is whether background driver optimizations were engaged and when their resulting optimized shaders were deployed. The observations are then used to compile a shader asynchronously. Understandably, this can cause a great deal of confusion in timing your shaders.

To enable this, set the ‘Capture Type’ to ‘One-shot [Beta]’ While TraceRays/DispatchRays has been the common way to initiate ray generation, it’s now possible to ray trace directly from your compute shaders using DXR1.1 and the new Khronos Vulkan Ray Tracing extension.

Resource allocation and destruction Creating and destroying buffers, textures, and shaders is fundamental to efficient computer graphics. For more information, see Best Practices: Using NVIDIA RTX Ray Tracing. Not recommended Avoid needlessly creating pipeline state objects and ray tracing objects.

NVIDIA RTX Path Tracing is the ultimate solution for ray tracing. Realistic physical illumination is naturally implemented with path tracing, which improves visual appeal and reduces defects. What challenges did you face during the process of integrating ray tracing? Debugging costs us significant time.

We have enabled Optix support for GPU Trace, including Vulkan applications that trace rays in the compute shader and use OptiX as a denoiser. GPU Trace is able to show NVTX markers, which when used with OptiX can provide helpful contextual information. Try out the latest version of Nsight Graphics today!
