Nvidia Compute profile with no results

Developer Tools Nsight Compute

I am profiling my CUDA code that has around 9 CUDA kernel calls.
When I use Nvidia Compute to profile the binary I get a whole lot of exclamation marks and no profile data. Attaching a screenshot.

I launched nv-nsight-cu from the command line (/usr/local/cuda/NsightCompute-1.0/nv-nsight-cu) in Ubuntu. It is installed by the Nvidia CUDA Toolkit. My GPU is Quadro M1200.

Any ideas on what is going wrong?

Edit: I found this error in the GPU Speed of Light section.
Bottleneck: [Error] Rule Bottleneck returned an error: Metric sm__sol_pct not found

Bottleneck [Error] <built-in function IAction_metric_by_name> returned a result with an error set

Nsight Compute does not support Maxwell (SM 5.0) GPUs. You can check the documentation shipping with your release, or online here Release Notes :: Nsight Compute Documentation. Later versions show a better error message if profiling on an unsupported GPU is attempted, but Maxwell is not supported, either. Please use nvprof/Visual Profiler to profile on Maxwell.
