GPA shader profiling on 10th Gen and OpenGL?

I want to use GPA for profiling a GLSL shader in a OpenGL 4.3 desktop app and frame capturing via Graphics Monitor and loading it into Frame Analyzer works, but when I navigate to the shader stage and select my shader the little fire icon for shader profiling is grayed out and the hover reads:

 

To run shader profiling on Intel devices that support Gen9, Gen11, Gen12 graphics, use driver versions newer than 30.0.100.9955

 

Im on a laptop with a 10510U, so am I just out of luck since I just picked the one in the line that is not supported for shader profiling? And if I would get a new laptop with a 13th gen CPU like a 1355U, would that also not work because it is not in the list?

 

Or is this a OpenGL issue because I can use the shader profiler on the sample application which is HSLS / DirectX?

Thanks for the details.

Yes, unfortunately, we only support OpenGL on Trace Analyzer, not Frame Analyzer.


So you can capture a trace (default 5 seconds) and view the workloads on your CPU cores and the GPU queue, and the GPU execution.

I made 4 5 minute videos about using Trace Analyzer a couple of years ago. Check it out and see if it's helpful.

Of course, it won't get into the details of the frame like you would with Frame Analyzer, but it's pretty cool. You might find something useful.
