## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 - Structure specifying physical device properties

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 {
        VkStructureType               sType;
        void*                         pNext;
        VkPhysicalDeviceProperties    properties;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
    typedef VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2KHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `properties` is a VkPhysicalDeviceProperties structure describing properties of the physical device. This structure is written with the same values as if it were written by vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties.

## Description

The `pNext` chain of this structure is used to extend the structure with properties defined by extensions.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_PROPERTIES_2`

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2-pNext-pNext
  Each `pNext` member of any structure (including this one) in the `pNext` chain must be either `NULL` or a pointer to a valid instance of VkPhysicalDeviceAccelerationStructurePropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceBlendOperationAdvancedPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceClusterAccelerationStructurePropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceClusterCullingShaderPropertiesHUAWEI, VkPhysicalDeviceComputeShaderDerivativesPropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceConservativeRasterizationPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceCooperativeMatrix2PropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceCooperativeMatrixPropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceCooperativeMatrixPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceCooperativeVectorPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceCopyMemoryIndirectPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceCudaKernelLaunchPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceCustomBorderColorPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceDepthStencilResolveProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorBufferDensityMapPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorBufferPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceDescriptorIndexingProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceDiscardRectanglePropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceDisplacementMicromapPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceDriverProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceDrmPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedDynamicState3PropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceExtendedSparseAddressSpacePropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceExternalComputeQueuePropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceExternalFormatResolvePropertiesANDROID, VkPhysicalDeviceExternalMemoryHostPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceFloatControlsProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentDensityMap2PropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentDensityMapOffsetPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentDensityMapPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentShaderBarycentricPropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentShadingRateEnumsPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentShadingRatePropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceGraphicsPipelineLibraryPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceHostImageCopyProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceImageAlignmentControlPropertiesMESA, VkPhysicalDeviceImageProcessing2PropertiesQCOM, VkPhysicalDeviceImageProcessingPropertiesQCOM, VkPhysicalDeviceInlineUniformBlockProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredApiPropertiesListKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceLayeredDriverPropertiesMSFT, VkPhysicalDeviceLegacyVertexAttributesPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceLineRasterizationProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance3Properties, VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance4Properties, VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance5Properties, VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance6Properties, VkPhysicalDeviceMaintenance7PropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceMapMemoryPlacedPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryDecompressionPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceMeshShaderPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceMultiDrawPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceMultiviewPerViewAttributesPropertiesNVX, VkPhysicalDeviceMultiviewProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceNestedCommandBufferPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceOpacityMicromapPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceOpticalFlowPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDevicePCIBusInfoPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDevicePartitionedAccelerationStructurePropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDevicePerformanceQueryPropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDevicePipelineBinaryPropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDevicePipelineRobustnessProperties, VkPhysicalDevicePointClippingProperties, VkPhysicalDevicePortabilitySubsetPropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceProtectedMemoryProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceProvokingVertexPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDevicePushDescriptorProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingInvocationReorderPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPipelinePropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceRenderPassStripedPropertiesARM, VkPhysicalDeviceRobustness2PropertiesKHR, VkPhysicalDeviceSampleLocationsPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceSamplerFilterMinmaxProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceSchedulingControlsPropertiesARM, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCoreBuiltinsPropertiesARM, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCoreProperties2AMD, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesAMD, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderCorePropertiesARM, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderEnqueuePropertiesAMDX, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderIntegerDotProductProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderModuleIdentifierPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderObjectPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderSMBuiltinsPropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceShaderTileImagePropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceShadingRateImagePropertiesNV, VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupSizeControlProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceSubpassShadingPropertiesHUAWEI, VkPhysicalDeviceTexelBufferAlignmentProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceTileMemoryHeapPropertiesQCOM, VkPhysicalDeviceTileShadingPropertiesQCOM, VkPhysicalDeviceTimelineSemaphoreProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceTransformFeedbackPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceVertexAttributeDivisorProperties, VkPhysicalDeviceVertexAttributeDivisorPropertiesEXT, VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan11Properties, VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan12Properties, VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan13Properties, or VkPhysicalDeviceVulkan14Properties
