C Specification

To dynamically set the pipeline fragment shading rate and combiner operation, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_fragment_shading_rate
void vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const VkExtent2D*                           pFragmentSize,
    const VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR    combinerOps[2]);

Parameters

Description

This command sets the pipeline fragment shading rate and combiner operation for subsequent drawing commands when the graphics pipeline is created with VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_KHR set in VkPipelineDynamicStateCreateInfo::pDynamicStates. Otherwise, this state is specified by the VkPipelineFragmentShadingRateStateCreateInfoKHR values used to create the currently active pipeline.

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pipelineFragmentShadingRate-04507
    If pipelineFragmentShadingRate is not enabled, pFragmentSize->width must be 1

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pipelineFragmentShadingRate-04508
    If pipelineFragmentShadingRate is not enabled, pFragmentSize->height must be 1

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pipelineFragmentShadingRate-04509
    One of pipelineFragmentShadingRate, primitiveFragmentShadingRate, or attachmentFragmentShadingRate must be enabled

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-primitiveFragmentShadingRate-04510
    If the primitiveFragmentShadingRate feature is not enabled, combinerOps[0] must be VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_KEEP_KHR

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-attachmentFragmentShadingRate-04511
    If the attachmentFragmentShadingRate feature is not enabled, combinerOps[1] must be VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_KEEP_KHR

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-fragmentSizeNonTrivialCombinerOps-04512
    If the fragmentSizeNonTrivialCombinerOps limit is not supported, elements of combinerOps must be either VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_KEEP_KHR or VK_FRAGMENT_SHADING_RATE_COMBINER_OP_REPLACE_KHR

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-04513
    pFragmentSize->width must be greater than or equal to 1

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-04514
    pFragmentSize->height must be greater than or equal to 1

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-04515
    pFragmentSize->width must be a power-of-two value

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-04516
    pFragmentSize->height must be a power-of-two value

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-04517
    pFragmentSize->width must be less than or equal to 4

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-04518
    pFragmentSize->height must be less than or equal to 4

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-commandBuffer-parameter
    commandBuffer must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-pFragmentSize-parameter
    pFragmentSize must be a valid pointer to a valid VkExtent2D structure

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-combinerOps-parameter
    Each element of combinerOps must be a valid VkFragmentShadingRateCombinerOpKHR value

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-commandBuffer-recording
    commandBuffer must be in the recording state

  • VUID-vkCmdSetFragmentShadingRateKHR-commandBuffer-cmdpool
    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support graphics operations

Host Synchronization
  • Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized

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