C Specification

A logical device that represents multiple physical devices may support presenting from images on more than one physical device, or combining images from multiple physical devices.

To query these capabilities, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1 with VK_KHR_swapchain
VkResult vkGetDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR*        pDeviceGroupPresentCapabilities);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device.

  • pDeviceGroupPresentCapabilities is a pointer to a VkDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR structure in which the device’s capabilities are returned.

Description

If VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanSC10Properties::deviceNoDynamicHostAllocations is VK_TRUE, vkGetDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR must not return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkGetDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkGetDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR-pDeviceGroupPresentCapabilities-parameter
    pDeviceGroupPresentCapabilities must be a valid pointer to a VkDeviceGroupPresentCapabilitiesKHR structure

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
