| XPS_3_0 | Xbox microcode assembly pixel shader version xps_3_0. Microcode assembly language supports a superset of the ps_3_0 and vs_3_0 specifications defined by Direct3D 9.0 for Windows. It does not support earlier Direct3D vertex and pixel shader specifications. | |
| XVS_3_0 | Xbox microcode assembly vertex shader version xvs_3_0. Microcode assembly language supports a superset of the ps_3_0 and vs_3_0 specifications defined by Direct3D 9.0 for Windows. It does not support earlier Direct3D vertex and pixel shader specifications. |
Remarks
These pixel shader versions identify the assembly-level shader model compilation target the HLSL compiler should use to express the final shader code. When shader compilation is completed at runtime, an application might query the using MaxVertexShaderProfile or MaxPixelShaderProfile to select a compilation target to match the capabilities of the graphics device.
