PresentMon is a Windows graphics performance analysis toolkit that captures and evaluates frame presentation behavior in games and other graphical applications. It measures CPU, GPU, and display frame durations and latencies to help identify performance bottlenecks. The software works with DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan applications across different hardware configurations. Its graphical interface displays real-time performance metrics through customizable overlays and charts. Users can record per-frame measurements and export detailed CSV data for further analysis. A background service combines Windows event tracing with available GPU telemetry, including utilization, power, and temperature. Developers can integrate its collection and analysis capabilities through the PresentMon API. Command-line tools support automated benchmarking and performance investigations.
