When you first load a GPU capture, data is loaded and parsed but the API calls are not yet actually played back on your GPU. PIX will attempt to auto-select the playback adapter if the application used only one adapter. PIX allows you to select the playback adapter from a drop-down in the PIX toolbar. It will always play back GPU captures on a single adapter, regardless of how many adapters the application used. PIX has limited support for multiple GPUs.

We can only guarantee playback will succeed when the GPU and driver are exactly the same, so PIX will warn before starting analysis if there is not a perfect match.

Use pixel shaders warband upgrade#

In most cases a capture taken on one machine will play back correctly on other similar GPUs from the same hardware family, and captures of some games may even work across GPUs from entirely different manufacturers, but it is also possible that something as trivial as a driver upgrade could break compatibility with older captures.

Windows GPU captures are not in general portable across different GPU hardware and driver versions. If you are having difficulty taking GPU captures, try using the D3D12 Debug Layer and GPU-Based Validation to find and fix any bad API calls. We make a best effort to be robust even in the case of incorrect usage patterns, but this is inevitably sometimes a case of garbage in, garbage out. It is not always possible for PIX to successfully take a GPU capture if a game is calling Direct3D 12 in invalid ways. These calls can later be replayed, which enables a range of debugging and analysis features. These are documented on the page ShaderLab legacy functionality.A PIX GPU capture records all the Direct3D 12 API calls made by the game, including their parameter data. GrabPass creates a Pass that grabs the contents of the screen into a texture, for use in a subsequent Pass.Use them with materials to determine the appearance of your scene.

UsePass defines a Pass that imports the contents of a named Pass from another Shader object An instance of the Shader class, a Shader object is container for shader programs and GPU instructions, and information that tells Unity how to use them.

Use these commands in a SubShader to define a Pass with a specific purpose. ZWrite: sets the depth buffer A memory store that holds the z-value depth of each pixel in an image, where the z-value is the depth for each rendered pixel from the projection plane.In Unity, you can use a stencil buffer to flag pixels, and then only render to pixels that pass the stencil operation.

Stencil: configures the stencil test, and what to write to the stencil buffer A memory store that holds an 8-bit per-pixel value.

Conservative: enables and disables conservative rasterization The process of generating an image by calculating pixels for each polygon or triangle in the geometry.

ColorMask: sets the color channel writing mask.

BlendOp: sets the operation used by the Blend command.

See in Glossary: enables and configures alpha blending.

Blend Transition from one animation to another animation smoothly and seamlessly, such as blending a characterвЂ™s walking and running animations according to the characterвЂ™s speed.

AlphaToMask: sets the alpha-to-coverage mode.

Use these commands within a Pass block to set the render state for that Pass, or within a SubShader block to set the render state for that SubShader and any Passes that it contains. You can group ShaderLab commands together with the Category block. More info See in Glossary programs without writing HLSL.
