Metrics List for Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers

This section describes all metrics accessible with the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers.

NOTE

On Intel® HD Graphics 2500/4000: to access metrics marked with the asterisk (*), you must explicitly enable the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers option in your BIOS settings:

Select Advanced
Select System Agent (SA) Configuration
Select Graphics Configuration
Reboot your machine

If the BIOS on your system does not include the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers option, update your BIOS to the latest version from Intel. After completing your performance monitoring activity, we recommend that you disable the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers BIOS option and reboot your machine.
