Hi, I am trying to tune a DX10 appplication. But it seems that GPU PerfStudio 2.8 does't support counters sampling on 79xx series. Are there any special steps to enable the sampling? Or AMD just plans to support HD79xx in the next version PerfStudio?

Hello gerili,

The current public driver does not support the performance counters, but  GPU PerfStudio's profiler should start working once the supporting driver is made available. At this moment, I am not certain which Catalyst version will contain the necessary functionality.

Is it just me, or is the download link dead for version 2.8.1005.0?

I'm not sure if it was just you, but it is working now.
