VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryDecompressionFeaturesEXT - Structure describing if memory decompression is supported by an implementation

Members

This structure describes the following features:

Description

If the PhysicalDeviceMemoryDecompressionFeaturesEXT structure is included in the pNext chain of the PhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to getPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. If the application wishes to use a Device with any features described by PhysicalDeviceMemoryDecompressionFeaturesEXT, it must add an instance of the structure, with the desired feature members set to TRUE, to the pNext chain of DeviceCreateInfo when creating the Device.

Valid Usage (Implicit)
