List of supported graphics cards and driver versions

I'm trying to get started with GPU PerfStudio and unfortunately, I cannot find reliable information on which graphics cards and driver versions are supported.

I'm attempting to profile a DX11 game on the following system configuration:
HD 5550

Catalyst driver 15.7.1 (I also tried the latest Crimson beta driver, 16.2.1)

Windows 7 x64

When I attempt to fire up the Frame Profiler I get a dialog "Error: AMD Radeon Software version is unsupported. Please switch to a different version and try again." After unsuccessfully digging around on the AMD website I was unable to find any information about hardware and software requirements. In the help window under "Getting Started > Minimum System Specification" the server requirements are listed as:

  • Windows 7 or higher (32bit or 64bit)
  • Radeon HD 7000 Series or newer graphics card if you intend to use GPU Shader Analyzer
  • Radeon HD 5000 Series or newer graphics card if you are NOT using GPU Shader Analyzer
  • Latest Public Catalyst Drivers

This would appear to be either incorrect or incomplete and makes for a rather frustrating initial experience.

I've founded that GPU PerfStudio is working only with GNC and up architecture, which is starting with the HD7000 series.

And yes, documentation is not obvious.

Thanks for your post, the profiler now only supports GCN (HD 7000 series and above) and our documentation is incorrect. We should have a new release soon that addresses this issue.
