Over a year has passed since our review of NVPerfKit 2. We've been using PerfKit and PerfHUD all this time to analyze modern games, and game developers have been using these tools in their projects. Much changed since that time: there appeared new Microsoft Windows Vista and DirectX 10 API, NVIDIA launched a new series of graphics cards based on G8x GPUs supporting this API.

That outdated version of PerfKit didn't support these new features, which were vital for game developers. So the kit had to be updated. In the end of this summer, NVIDIA launched PerfKit 5, where PerfHUD suffered most changes. As you can see, both names got rid of the NV prefix. Now these tools are called NVIDIA PerfKit and NVIDIA PerfHUD.
