AMD Radeon GPU Detective: Troubleshooting GPU Crashes and Analyzing TDR Events

AMD introduces a Radeon GPU Detective tool. That tool should help users troubleshoot GPU crashes. The software is available for free and is compatible with AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 and RX 7000 video cards.

AMD’s nieuwe Radeon GPU Detective-tool can generate reports with information about gpu crashes in the form of text or json files. That information can help users find the cause of a GPU crash. The report includes, among other things page faultdetails, resource data and execution markers that indicate exactly what kind of calculations the gpu performed before it crashed.

Version 1.0 of AMD’s RGD software can detect GPU crashes caused by so-called TDR events. When a GPU error causes the GPU driver to stop responding for a period of time, the operating system attempts to reset the driver. In Windows, this happens after two seconds. Radeon GPU Detective can detect and analyze such TDR events. However, that only works for crashes that happen in DirectX 12 software and games. Other graphics APIs, such as DirectX 11 and Vulkan, are not currently supported.

Radeon GPU Detective is primarily intended for developers, but is also available to individuals. The software is available for Windows and is compatible with AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 or 7000 video cards. The software also requires the latest AMD Radeon Adrenalin driver version, 23.7.2. RGD’s code is open source and viewable on GitHub. AMD also has published a manual for the tool.
