Profiles Dialog Box

The Intel® GPA Monitor enables you to view and manage application-specific Intel GPA preferences called “profiles”.

A profile is a collection of preferences for Intel® GPA frame and trace capture operations. You need to create a profile to be able to configure trigger parameters for creating frame and trace capture files on the fly. You can create different profiles and apply a profile to all running D3D applications.

You can configure a profile in the following way:

  • change a profile name
  • set up tracing options
  • set up a trigger
  • select domains to be traced
  • customize the default keyboard shortcut assignments
  • configure metrics to be collected
  • configure HUD display options

Default Profile Settings

By default every new application that you launch with Intel® GPA runs with the Default profile assigned.

The Default profile settings are the following:
