A standalone console application that uses the PresentMon SDK to capture and analyze graphics applications, outputting data to the console and/or CSV file(s).
PresentMon Console: A Tool for Analyzing Graphics Application Performance
PresentMon Console is a standalone console application designed to capture and analyze the performance characteristics of graphics applications on Windows. It leverages the PresentMon SDK to output detailed data either to the console or CSV files, facilitating comprehensive performance evaluation.
Key Features:
Cross-API Support: Captures metrics across DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan APIs.
Performance Metrics: Analyzes CPU, GPU, and Display frame durations and latencies in real-time.
Data Output: Exports CSV data for further analysis and post-processing.
Application Compatibility: Works with both desktop and UWP applications.
README
PresentMon
PresentMon is a set of tools to capture and analyze the high-level performance characteristics of graphics applications on Windows. PresentMon traces key performance metrics such as the CPU, GPU, and Display frame durations and latencies; and works across different graphics API such as DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, different hardware configurations, and for both desktop and UWP applications.
This repository contains several components:
The PresentData/ directory contains the PresentMon Collection and Analysis library: a library that performs the lowest-level collection and analysis of ETW events. See PresentData/PresentMonTraceConsumer.hpp for more information.
The PresentMon/ directory contains the PresentMon Console Application: a standalone console application that can be used to collect CSV data from target applications. See README-ConsoleApplication.md for more information.
The IntelPresentMon/ directory contains the PresentMon Service: A service that combines the ETW frame event analysis of the PresentMon Analysis library with hardware telemetry such as GPU power, temperature, and utilization collected from various vendor APIs such as NVAPI. Applications can interact with this service to access data via the PresentMon API. See README-Service.md for more information.
The IntelPresentMon/ directory also contains the PresentMon Capture Application: a user-friendly GUI application that interfaces with the PresentMon Service. This application can display an overlay containing realtime graphs and readouts of any metrics exposed by the PresentMon Service, as well as capture per-frame CSV data. See for more information.

Troubleshooting
See GitHub Issues for a current list of reported issues.
User access denied
PresentMon needs to be run by a user who is a member of the "Performance Log Users" user group. If
neither of these are true, you will get an error "failed to start trace session (access denied)".
To add a user to the "Performance Log Users" user group:
Run compmgmt.msc as administrator.
In the "Computer Management" window, expand "System Tools", expand "Local Users and Groups", and then click "Groups".
Double-click "Performance Log Users", and then click "Add".
In the "Enter the object names to select" text box, type the name of the user account or group account that you want to add, and then click "OK".
Sign out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
If PresentMon is not run with administrator privilege, it will not have complete process information
for processes running on different user accounts or for processes that are short-lived. Such
processes will be listed in the console and CSV as "", and they cannot be targeted by name
(--process_name).
Analyzing OpenGL and Vulkan applications
Applications that report Runtime of "Other" (e.g., as is typical with OpenGL or Vulkan
applications) have less instrumentation in the frame presentation process. As a result,
CPUFramePacingStall will always report 0 and CPUFrameTime may be slightly less accurate. This
inaccuracy also impacts latency calculations based off of CPUFrameTime (e.g., GPUBeginLatency,
GPUEndLatency, and DisplayLatency but not InputLatency).
Tracking GPU work with Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling enabled
GPU execution metrics are less accurate when running on a system that uses Hardware-Accelerated GPU
Scheduling (HWS). When HWS is enabled, msUntilRenderStart, msUntilRenderComplete,
msGPUActive, and msGPUVideoActive measurements may be later/larger than they should be. For
example, in a GPU-bound scenario the frame's msGPUActive may be reported ~0.5ms larger than the
true GPU work duration, though the specific amount of the inaccuracy will be workload- and
GPU-dependent.
An improved solution is WIP.
