NVIDIA? Nsight? Visual Studio Edition 2019.3 is now available with these features and improvements:

Graphics Debugging

API Enhancements
OpenGL
• OpenGL 4.6 is now supported in Frame Debugging, C++ Capture, and Frame Profiling activities
• Range Profiler now has OpenGL support has been added for Turing based GPU targets
• New suport for GL_OVR_multiview and GL_OVR_multiview_multisampled_render_to_texture extensions
• Basic support for OpenGL Immediate Mode has been added for the most common use cases
Vulkan
• New support for Ycbcr format Extensions – VkSamplerYcbcrConversion
Feature Enhancements
HUD - Incompatible Capture UX
• added the ability to accept a notification and proceed at the user’s own risk from the HUD when an incompatible capture is detected
API Inspector
• Meshlet pipeline stages have been added to the D3D12 API Inspector
Frame Debugger
• Improved capture and interception performance
Other Improvements
Windows 10 19H1
• Support for applications using Variable Rate Shading APIs – ID3D12GraphicsCommandList5::RSSetShadingRate and ID3D12GraphicsCommandList5::RSSetShadingRateImage
Multi-View Rendering support has been added

Compute Debugging and Analysis

General
• Supports CUDA Toolkit 10.1 Update 2
Next-Gen Debugger
• Works with the latest Turing Super GPUs
• OptiX applications can now be debugged (requires a 435 driver)
• Core Dump Analysis added
• Barrier stepping and end-of-kernel stepping control added
Nsight Compute Profiler
General
• Works with the latest Turing Super GPUs
• OptiX applications can now be profiled (requires a 435 driver)
• Reduced the profiling overhead, especially if no source metrics are collected
• Reduced the overhead for non-profiled kernels
• Trying to profile on an unsupported GPU now shows an "Unsupported GPU" error message
• Added support for smsp__sass_* metrics on Volta and newer GPUs
• The launch__occupancy_limit_shared_mem now reports the device block limit if no shared memory is used by the kernel
NVIDIA Nsight Compute
• The heatmap on the Source page now shows the represented metric in its tooltip
• The Memory Workload Analysis Chart on the Details page now supports baselines
• When applying rules, a message displaying the number of new rule results is shown in the status bar
NVIDIA Nsight Compute Command Line Interface
• Fixed an issue that reported the wrong executable name in the Session page when attaching
• Fixed issues that chart labels were shown elided on the Details page
• Fixed an issue that caused the cache hitrates to be shown incorrectly when baselines were added
• Fixed an illegal memory access when collecting sass__*_histogram metrics for applications using PyTorch on Pascal GPUs
• Fixed an issue when attempting to collect all smsp__* metrics on Volta and newer GPUs
• Fixed an issue when profiling multi-context applications
• Fixed that profiling start/stop settings from the connection dialog weren't properly passed to the interactive profile activity
• Fixed that certain smsp__warp_cycles_per_issue_stall* metrics returned negative values on Pascal GPUs
• Fixed that metric names were truncated in the --page details non-CSV command line output
• Fixed that the target application could crash if a connection port was used by another application with higher privileges
