Installation and Setup Essentials > Working with Samples

There are four main sources for samples that you can use with the NVIDIA Nsight tools:


The samples that ship with NVIDIA Nsight are available as a ZIP file. There are three ways to access them:

  1. Go to the Nsight menu > Help > Samples. From here, you can open the ZIP file and choose a location to extract the files.
  2. Go to the Start menu > All Programs > NVIDIA Corporation > Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.2 > Browse NVIDIA Nsight Code Samples.
  3. Navigate to the NVIDIA Nsight installation directory and unzip the files from there.

    On a 32-bit system:
    C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.2\Samples 

    On a 64-bit system:
    C:\Program  Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.2\Samples

Within the NVIDIA Nsight samples directory, there are separate sub-folders for CUDA, Graphics, and NVTX samples, so you are able to choose whichever would be applicable to your needs.
