NVIDIA Nsight Integration 2020.1.0#

What’s New#

  • This new Visual Studio extension allow NVIDIA Nsight Tools to present activities in Microsoft Visual Studio, under the Nsight menu.

    Activities can be launched in the standalone NVIDIA Nsight tool from the Visual Studio project, with expected paths and command line arguments.

  • Supports participating NVIDIA Nsight development tools. This includes:

  • Tools can be used independently, or in conjunction with other NVIDIA Nsight tools.

    Run just one tool from within Microsoft Visual Studio, or collect them all!

  • Tools can be used independently, or to supplement NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition.

    NVIDIA Nsight VSE has traditionally parented (and provided the integration of) the functionality provided by these tools, but they are all grown up now. They are standalone and have upgraded to work on other operating systems and platforms. However, they still work on Windows, as standalone tools, or integrated into Visual Studio, right under the Nsight menu where you expect to find them.

  • Activities’ tools that are launched from within Visual Studio work with the standalone versions.

    • Run your favorite tool from anywhere.

    • Your executable, arguments, working directory, and environment will be auto-populated into the NVIDIA Nsight tool when launched from the Nsight menu.

  • Visibility Control – Individually hide or show the Nsight tools you’ve installed.

  • Key binding support for launching activities.

  • Full Visual Studio Extension Support
