Enhancing AMD Radeon GPU Detective Output with DirectX Debug Information
Meet AMD Radeon™ GPU Detective (RGD), a powerful tool for developers to help with post-mortem analysis of GPU crashes.
Supports:
- DirectX® 12
- Vulkan®
Important: To use AMD RGD, please make sure you have the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ 25.10.2 driver or newer installed.
Download the latest version - v1.6
This release adds the following features:
- Added support for Hardware Crash Analysis on AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 GPUs and additional AMD Ryzen™ APUs with AMD RDNA™ 3.5 architecture graphics (AMD Radeon 820M, 840M, and 860M graphics, and AMD Radeon 8000S Series Graphics).
- SGPR and VGPR collection for all active waves at the time of the crash.
- Shader Resource Descriptor (SRD) Analysis for offending memory instructions.
- For more information about Shader Resource Descriptor (SRD) Analysis, please refer to the AMD RGD Documentation.
- Bug and stability fixes.
Features
AMD 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.
AMD 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.

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.
