I have built the vulkan tutorial for ray tracing (38_ray_tracing) and can run it on it’s own. When I try to launch it in renderdoc, in the function pickPhysicalDevice(), the same gpu shows that it doesn’t support vulkan >= 1.3, the required extensions or features and I get the “failed to find a suitable GPU!” message.
I am not sure if I have installed renderdoc correctly. I downloaded 1.41 and installed it according to the README file and registered vulkan as a user.
What am I missing?
What GPU are you using? Debugging raytracing in RenderDoc requires specific api features that Nvidia drivers do not support, meaning you can’t use RenderDoc to debug on those GPUs.
Fortunately, I am not using an Nvidia gpu. I have an ati gpu(Cezanne) in an hp laptop that is running up to date debian/xfce4/trixie.
Still no guarantee it works. RenderDoc does not support all extensions, so chances are there one of the extensions used in that part of our tutorial isn’t support.
As an alternative you can use AMD’s Radeon GPU Profiler: AMD Radeon™ GPU Profiler - AMD GPUOpen
