Ray-Tracing Development using NVIDIA Nsight Graphics and NVIDIA Nsight Systems

With the arrival of NVIDIA RTX and real-time ray tracing APIs like DXR and Vulkan Ray Tracing, it's now easier than ever to create stunning visuals at interactive frame rates. Learn how to utilize NVIDIA Nsight Graphics to profile and optimize 3D applications that use ray tracing. Using an example application, you'll learn how to: Understand how modern GPUs function and how to properly feed the graphics pipeline Identify GPU bottlenecks that degrade performance by inspecting low level metrics Analyze profiler data and understand what actions you should take Optimize some example workloads to achieve peak performance Upon completion, you should be able to leverage this knowledge to create workflows that can help you to improve your own applications. 

Prerequisite(s):  

• Understanding of graphics programming concepts such as graphics APIs like Vulkan or Direct3D12. 
• Understand of concepts like render commands, performance markers and shaders. Understanding of what ray tracing is and how it works.
