D3D_DRIVER_TYPE Enumeration

Driver type options.

Syntax

typedef enum D3D_DRIVER_TYPE {
  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_UNKNOWN     = 0,
  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE    = ( D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_UNKNOWN + 1 ),
  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_REFERENCE   = ( D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE + 1 ),
  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_NULL        = ( D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_REFERENCE + 1 ),
  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_SOFTWARE    = ( D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_NULL + 1 ),
  D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_WARP        = ( D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_SOFTWARE + 1 ) 
} D3D_DRIVER_TYPE;

Konstanten

• D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_UNKNOWN
  The driver type is unknown.

• D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE
  A hardware driver, which implements Direct3D features in hardware. This is the primary driver that you should use in your Direct3D applications because it provides the best performance. A hardware driver uses hardware acceleration (on supported hardware) but can also use software for parts of the pipeline that are not supported in hardware. This driver type is often referred to as a hardware abstraction layer or HAL.

• D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_REFERENCE
  A reference driver, which is a software implementation that supports every Direct3D feature. A reference driver is designed for accuracy rather than speed and as a result is slow but accurate. The rasterizer portion of the driver does make use of special CPU instructions whenever it can, but it is not intended for retail applications; use it only for feature testing, demonstration of functionality, debugging, or verifying bugs in other drivers. This driver is installed by the DirectX SDK. This driver may be referred to as a REF driver, a reference driver or a reference rasterizer.

• D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_NULL
  A NULL driver, which is a reference driver without render capability. This driver is commonly used for debugging non-rendering API calls, it is not appropriate for retail applications. This driver is installed by the DirectX SDK.

• D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_SOFTWARE
  A software driver, which is a driver implemented completely in software. The software implementation is not intended for a high-performance application due to its very slow performance.

• D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_WARP
  A WARP driver, which is a high-performance software rasterizer. The rasterizer supports feature levels 9_1 through level 10.1 with a high performance software implementation. For information about limitations creating a WARP device on certain feature levels, see Limitations Creating WARP and Reference Devices. For more information about using a WARP driver, see Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP) In-Depth Guide.

Hinweise

The driver type is required when calling D3D11CreateDevice or D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain.
