Big news for Visual Studio developers using CUDA, NVidia has just announced that the newest version of PArallel NSight 1.51 Professional Edition is now available for free for all!  Coming with all of the great professional tools, this is huge news and a mandatory download for anyone doing NVidia GPU development on Windows.

Parallel Nsight Professional Edition is now available for all Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 developers, free of charge. NVIDIA is now offering the full Parallel Nsight Pro feature set at no cost, as we historically have done with CUDA and our other development tools, so that a broader range of developers can take advantage of the full benefits of this popular parallel computing development tool.  Parallel Nsight support will continue via the Parallel Nsight forums, and Professional developers are encouraged to sign up for NVIDIA’s Registered Developer Program, which provides priority access to new software, bug management tools, invitations to members-only developer webinars and other development resources.

In addition to making it a free download, they’ve removed all of the license key and activation stuff, so it really is a ‘no strings attached’ release.
