Way to view vertex buffer data in frame analyzer?

Hello - 

I'm attempting to use GPA in place of NVidia's Nsight for a piece of software that Nsight is failing on.

GPA works fine, except that I don't see a way to view the vertex buffer data analyzing this frame (DirectX 11 capture).

The Geometry tab shows you x/y/z/w position, but I don't see anywhere in those tabs that shows you the buffer itself.  So as far as I can tell, there is for example no way to show the UV values of a vertex anywhere in the analysis.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks..

Hi,

First off, I want to say thank you for using Intel® GPA for your profiling needs. I'm sorry to hear that you're not finding some of the features that you want for profiling, but we unfortunately don't support UV value viewing for the vertex buffer. You're correct in your observation that the geometry tab shows only x,y, and z positions and nothing else. At the moment, that is all that we support for geometry viewing.

Please reach out if you have any further questions about GPA.

Thanks!
