Difference between Frame[Dx12] and Frame[DX12] [Legacy]

descosmos — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 02:04:33 GMT

Excuse me, rencently I tried to collect pipeline statistics data of one directx12 application by GPA. What really confused me is there are two Frame Capture mode the Graphics Monitor offering, and the website of GPA dosen't supply any information about it.

So, I'll be appreciated if you tell me the difference between these two mode.

Thank you very much.

The Frame Mode (Legacy) option will only exist until we bring our new Frame Mode up to parity. We needed to make some changes for stability and maintainability, but we couldn't port what we had straight over.

You can find references to the Legacy Mode if you go here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/gpa/user-guide/2023-3/overview.html
type "legacy" into the search box on the left (it only shows if you have your browser window wide)
you should get:
- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/gpa/user-guide/2023-3/experiments-pane.html (we reached parity in the experiments in our last release)
- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/gpa/user-guide/2023-3/api-log-pane.html (Pixel History Tab section)

Note: our search engine in our User Guide is phenomenally better than it was 5-6 years ago (across Intel products) and it's also better than regular internet searches.
