Advanced Profiling Mode Missing

[PhillipH]

I have been using GPA for some time, and wanted to access the Advanced Profile Mode to analyse some frames, but this option has not been available for me. I've installed the latest version, but the icon to use Advanced Profile Mode is not visible in my Graphics Frame Analyzer window.

Heres my system info - maybe there is something that is not supported ? (My record and playback devices are the same).

Phillip - something went wonky. I checked my queue yesterday and it was empty. Now this post is a month old. Sorry for the delay.

Hotspot Mode won't be available on non-Intel hardware . . .

So, before you open the frame, in Graphics Frame Analyzer, you need to select an Intel GPU (even if you did the capture on your NVIDIA discrete card - do analysis on your iGPU - otherwise you won't see all the hardware counter info).

Top left of Graphics Frame Analyzer, you should see a GPU listed. Click on it to see the list of all possible GPUs on your platform. Select your iGPU. Open the frame. Then you should see Advanced Profiling Mode (Hotspot Mode).
