Default Keyboard-shortcut Assignments

The Intel® GPA System Analyzer HUD features the ability to enable Microsoft DirectX* Overrides. By using the keyboard-shortcut assignments listed below, you can run a number of experiments to help isolate performance bottlenecks. See Using Override Modes for more information.  

With the keyboard shortcuts you can capture frame and trace files, create Intel® Graphics Checker data files, pause and resume the application, apply override modes, and switch between Intel® GPA System Analyzer HUD modes.

NOTE

Some games may already be using a particular keyboard-shortcut combination. If a default keyboard shortcut does not appear to be working with your game, you can assign new keyboard shortcuts. For information on how to assign a different capture keyboard shortcut, refer to Customizing the Keyboard-shortcut Assignments.

NOTE

Since the Null Hardware override mode blocks all GPU work, the Intel® GPA System Analyzer HUD will not update while Null Hardware is in effect. Therefore, Null Hardware is applied for two seconds and then automatically resets. You will see the display “freeze” while Null Hardware is active. The Null Hardware override is only available on computers using Intel® HD Graphics.
