NVIDIA releases first public beta of PerfHUD 5
Monday 23rd July 2007, 09:09:00 PM, written by Tim
NVIDIA has just released the first public beta of PerfHUD 5, its performance profiling tool for Windows. PerfHUD 5 is a major upgrade that includes all sorts of new features, such as shader edit-and-continue, D3D10 support, and a much nicer interface. Our article from GDC '07 has a few more details on just what PerfHUD can do.
Sadly, you can't just run PerfHUD on any app--you need to make a slight source-level modification before you can use PerfHUD to prevent unauthorized parties (like, for example, Beyond3D) from profiling your application. In addition, there's still no support for 64-bit operating systems, a limitation that makes us particularly sad.
Regardless, if you are a developer, you should definitely check it out and let us know what you think.

I'm not a dev, I just think this would be a useful performance analysis tool.
