The Root Parameters view displays all of the root parameters bound for the current event. This allows you to quickly change the state of what you're sampling from, constants, and other descriptors at a lightweight, faster rate than past APIs.
To open the Root Parameters view, go to Nsight > Windows > Root Parameters.
The root signature displays the structure definition of what's bound at that moment. Root parameters fill in that structure with the values you're sampling from and the constants you're using.
When you select a root parameter on the left, the root arguments for that parameter are displayed on the right. This shows residency information, any invalid descriptors are displayed in red. Using root parameters as a diagnostic tool can help prevent a GPU fault.
Note that if you click the hyperlink in the Resources column, it will bring up the Resources view.
