Meet Radeon™ GPU Detective (RGD), a powerful tool for developers to help with post-mortem analysis of GPU crashes.
Supports:
- DirectX® 12
- Vulkan®
Download now - v1.1
Release notes:
- This release adds support for Vulkan® applications.
Benefits
Radeon™ GPU Detective allows you to easily and reliably capture AMD GPU crash dumps from your crashing DirectX® 12 and Vulkan® applications. A concise crash analysis report file will include detailed information that can help to narrow down the cause of the crash.
This command line tool makes the process simple with an intuitive and concise crash analysis summary and useful visualizations.
Gather your evidence
Capture AMD GPU crash dumps and generate crash analysis reports with ease.
RGD ensures you can reproduce the crash with minimum impact on your runtime performance.
Examine your execution
Understand the exact events which led to your crash using the execution marker tree. This tree visualizes the GPU work that was in progress in the moments leading to the crash.
You can insert user markers with custom strings in your code which will be presented in the crash analysis file.

Probe any page faults
If a page fault is a suspect, check out the page fault summary section to begin your investigation.
This view provides details that can help to shed light on the crash cause, including the offending virtual address, a detailed list of the resources that have ever resided in that virtual address, with information that can help you identify the resources in your code, and a resource timeline that shows the events associated with these resources.
