## Name

VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 - Structure describing the fine-grained features that can be supported by an implementation

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 {
        VkStructureType             sType;
        void*                       pNext;
        VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures    features;
    } VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
    typedef VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2KHR;

## Members

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

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

- `features` is a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure describing the fine-grained features of the Vulkan 1.0 API.

## Description

The `pNext` chain of this structure is used to extend the structure with features defined by extensions. This structure can be used in vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 or can be included in the `pNext` chain of a VkDeviceCreateInfo structure, in which case it controls which features are enabled in lieu of `pEnabledFeatures`.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_FEATURES_2`
