Constants

 
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_1_0_CORE
Value: (0x1000)
Allows Microsoft Compute Driver Model (MCDM) devices to be used, or more feature-rich devices (such as traditional GPUs) that support a superset of the functionality. MCDM is the overall driver model for compute-only; it's a scaled-down peer of the larger scoped Windows Device Driver Model (WDDM).
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1
Value: (0x9100)
Targets features supported by feature level 9.1, including shader model 2.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_2
Value: (0x9200)
Targets features supported by feature level 9.2, including shader model 2.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_3
Value: (0x9300)
Targets features supported by feature level 9.3, including shader model 2.0b.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0
Value: (0xa000)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 10.0, including shader model 4.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1
Value: (0xa100)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 10.1, including shader model 4.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0
Value: (0xb000)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 11.0, including shader model 5.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1
Value: (0xb100)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 11.1, including shader model 5 and logical blend operations. This feature level requires a display driver that is at least implemented to WDDM for Windows 8 (WDDM 1.2).
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_0
Value: (0xc000)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 12.0, including shader model 5.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_1
Value: (0xc100)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 12.1, including shader model 5.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_2
Value: (0xc200)
Targets features supported by Direct3D 12.2, including shader model 6.5. For more information about feature level 12_2, see its specification page. Feature level 12_2 is available in Windows SDK builds 20170 and later.
