## Name

vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL - Performance override settings

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Some applications might want measure the effect of a set of commands with a different settings. It is possible to override a particular settings using :

    // Provided by VK_INTEL_performance_query
    VkResult vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL(
        VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
        const VkPerformanceOverrideInfoINTEL*       pOverrideInfo);

## Parameters

- `commandBuffer` is the command buffer where the override takes place.

- `pOverrideInfo` is a pointer to a VkPerformanceOverrideInfoINTEL structure selecting the parameter to override.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL-pOverrideInfo-02736
  `pOverrideInfo` must not be used with a VkPerformanceOverrideTypeINTEL that is not reported available by `vkGetPerformanceParameterINTEL`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL-commandBuffer-parameter
  `commandBuffer` must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

- VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL-pOverrideInfo-parameter
  `pOverrideInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkPerformanceOverrideInfoINTEL structure

- VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL-commandBuffer-recording
  `commandBuffer` must be in the recording state

- VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL-commandBuffer-cmdpool
  The `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must support graphics, compute, or transfer operations

- VUID-vkCmdSetPerformanceOverrideINTEL-videocoding
  This command must only be called outside of a video coding scope

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `commandBuffer` must be externally synchronized

- Host access to the `VkCommandPool` that `commandBuffer` was allocated from must be externally synchronized

Command Properties

Command Buffer Levels | Render Pass Scope | Video Coding Scope | Supported Queue Types | Command Type
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Primary Secondary | Both | Outside | Graphics Compute Transfer | State

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - `VK_SUCCESS`

On failure, this command returns

  - `VK_ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS`

  - `VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY`
