Could you build this?

No Profiling GPU shader caches and diagnosing micro-stutters across DirectX and Vulkan requires low-level graphics driver hooks, ETW tracing, and deep GPU pipeline expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires developing low-level API hooking layers or integrating with Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), Microsoft PIX, and GPU driver performance telemetry (NVAPI / AMD AGS). The engine must intercept `D3D12_GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_STATE_DESC` and Vulkan pipeline creations to record compilation times and cache hits/misses at runtime. This calls for specialized graphics systems engineering skills, systems diagnostics, and driver-level profiling knowledge.
