VkPhysicalDeviceShadingRateImageFeaturesNV - Structure describing shading rate image features that can be supported by an implementation

Members

The members of the PhysicalDeviceShadingRateImageFeaturesNV structure describe the following features:

Description

See Shading Rate Image for more information.

If the PhysicalDeviceShadingRateImageFeaturesNV structure is included in the pNext chain of PhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled with values indicating whether the feature is supported. PhysicalDeviceShadingRateImageFeaturesNV can also be included in the pNext chain of DeviceCreateInfo to enable features.

VkCoarseSampleOrderCustomNV - Structure specifying parameters controlling shading rate image usage

Description

When using a custom sample ordering, element j in pSampleLocations specifies a specific pixel location and sample index that corresponds to coverage index j in the multi-pixel fragment.

Valid Usage

• shadingRate must be a shading rate that generates fragments with more than one pixel

• sampleCount must correspond to a sample count enumerated in SampleCountFlags whose corresponding bit is set in PhysicalDeviceLimits::framebufferNoAttachmentsSampleCounts
• sampleLocationCount must be equal to the product of sampleCount, the fragment width for shadingRate, and the fragment height for shadingRate
• sampleLocationCount must be less than or equal to the value of PhysicalDeviceShadingRateImagePropertiesNV::shadingRateMaxCoarseSamples
• The array pSampleLocations must contain exactly one entry for every combination of valid values for pixelX, pixelY, and sample in the structure CoarseSampleOrderCustomNV

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• shadingRate must be a valid ShadingRatePaletteEntryNV value

• pSampleLocations must be a valid pointer to an array of sampleLocationCount CoarseSampleLocationNV structures
• sampleLocationCount must be greater than 0

VkPipelineViewportCoarseSampleOrderStateCreateInfoNV - Structure specifying parameters controlling sample order in coarse fragments

Description

If this structure is not present, sampleOrderType is considered to be COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_DEFAULT_NV.

If sampleOrderType is COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_CUSTOM_NV, the coverage sample order used for any combination of fragment area and coverage sample count not enumerated in pCustomSampleOrders will be identical to that used for COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_DEFAULT_NV.

If the pipeline was created with DYNAMIC_STATE_VIEWPORT_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_NV, the contents of this structure (if present) are ignored, and the coverage sample order is instead specified by cmdSetCoarseSampleOrderNV.

Valid Usage

• If sampleOrderType is not COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_TYPE_CUSTOM_NV, customSamplerOrderCount must be 0

• The array pCustomSampleOrders must not contain two structures with matching values for both the shadingRate and sampleCount members

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• sType must be STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_VIEWPORT_COARSE_SAMPLE_ORDER_STATE_CREATE_INFO_NV

• sampleOrderType must be a valid CoarseSampleOrderTypeNV value
• If customSampleOrderCount is not 0, pCustomSampleOrders must be a valid pointer to an array of customSampleOrderCount valid CoarseSampleOrderCustomNV structures

VkShadingRatePaletteEntryNV - Shading rate image palette entry types

Description

The following table indicates the width and height (in pixels) of each fragment generated using the indicated shading rate, as well as the maximum number of fragment shader invocations launched for each fragment. When processing regions of a primitive that have a shading rate of SHADING_RATE_PALETTE_ENTRY_NO_INVOCATIONS_NV, no fragments will be generated in that region.
