Vulkan: view device address in Push Constants?

Developer Tools Nsight Graphics
1

We often use GL_EXT_buffer_reference and place the buffer device address into Push Constants, which works well. However, when attempting to debug using Nsight, I cannot view the address, so that I can find the buffer in device memory and inspect it; the Push Constant view simply shows me the first element at the address, as if it were an array. Is there a way I’m missing to be able to get the address?

Hi Brian,

Thank you for using Nsight Graphics and providing your feedback. Could you please take a try on the ‘Graphics Capture’ activity of the coming release of Nsight Graphics (2025.5), it will show you the address as you requested.

Thanks
An
