## What it is
PresentMon is a set of tools for capturing and analyzing the performance characteristics of graphics applications on Windows, tracing frame durations and latencies across DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan. It includes an ETW analysis library, a console capture app, a telemetry service with vendor GPU APIs, and a GUI capture application with real-time overlay graphs.

## Use cases
- measure fps and frame time in games
- find cpu gpu bottlenecks in a game
- capture per-frame performance data to csv
- overlay real-time gpu telemetry while gaming
- benchmark frame latency on windows
- monitor gpu temperature and utilization during gameplay

## When to choose
- you need frame-level performance metrics on Windows across DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan
- you want combined GPU telemetry (power, temperature, utilization) with frame timing data
- you need a scriptable console tool or a GUI overlay for game performance capture

## When to avoid
- you need performance profiling on Linux or macOS
- you need deep CPU instruction-level profiling rather than frame-level metrics
- you need a cross-platform benchmarking solution
