RenderDoc also has support for nVidia's NvPerfKit library, but it does not ship as the library's license forbids redistribution. To enable support, place the ``NvPmApi.Core.dll`` file into either ``plugins/nv/counters/x64`` for 64-bit RenderDoc builds and ``plugins/nv/counters/x86`` for 32-bit RenderDoc builds.
Similarly RenderDoc has support for nVidia's Nsight Perf SDK, but this library's license also forbids redistribution. To enable support, follow these steps:
#. Download the Nsight Perf SDK from: `https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-perf-sdk <https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-perf-sdk>`_.
#. Extract the contents
#. On windows copy ``nvperf_grfx_host.dll`` and on linux copy ``libnvperf_grfx_host.*`` to the plugins folder in ``renderdoc/plugins/nv`` in your user directory.
