Introduction (original) (raw)

PIX is a performance tuning and debugging tool for Windows and Xbox game developers using DirectX 12. It provides three main modes of operation:

• GPU captures for debugging and analyzing the performance of Direct3D 12 graphics rendering.
• Timing captures for understanding the performance and threading of all CPU and GPU work carried out by your game.
• System Monitor displays realtime counter data while a game is running.

We want to get improvements into your hands as quickly as possible, so releases will happen as needed rather than waiting for a fixed schedule.
