## Name

VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT - Structure specifying the efficiency of subpass resolve for an attachment with a format

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To query the performance characteristics of a subpass resolve operation for an attachment with a VkFormat, add a VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT structure to the `pNext` chain of VkFormatProperties2.

The VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_single_sampled
    typedef struct VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        void*              pNext;
        VkBool32           optimal;
    } VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `optimal` specifies that a subpass resolve operation is optimally performed.

## Description

If `optimal` is VK_FALSE for a VkFormat, using a subpass resolve operation on a multisampled attachment with this format can incur additional costs, including additional memory bandwidth usage and a higher memory footprint. If an attachment with such a format is used in a multisampled-render-to-single-sampled subpass, the additional memory and memory bandwidth usage can nullify the benefits of using the `VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_single_sampled` extension.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkSubpassResolvePerformanceQueryEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SUBPASS_RESOLVE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_EXT
