Format Support for Direct3D Feature Level 10.1 Hardware

This section specifies the formats (DXGI_FORMAT values) that are supported in Direct3D 10.1 hardware.

The table summarizes the feature support, using the following key.

SymbolDescription
-Disallowed or not available.
Required Hardware support is required.
optional Hardware support optional, the format may or may not be hardware accelerated.
dependant Required if related optional feature is supported.

 

A format target (listed in the top row) can be a resource type, an HLSL intrinsic function, or a particular functionality that is dependent on a particular format.

To programmatically verify format support in D3D11 and D3D12, refer to Checking Hardware Feature Support.

Note  To scroll to the desired location in these large tables, first minimize the side of the screen for the table of contents. Then you may need to scroll down to the bottom of the page, use the horizontal scroll bar there to select the desired format target, then use the vertical scroll bar to locate the correct table entry.
 
Note  The numbers of the formats are mostly, but not all, in ascending numerical order - some are out of numerical order and listed alongside other relevant formats. Note also that "typeless" in the name can mean "partially typed" and not strictly typeless (refer to the format notes at the end of the table).

Format notes

The purpose of the format can change from one hardware feature level to the next.

L : typeless format
PCS : partially typed, castable and simple layout
FCS : fully typed, castable and simple layout
FNS : fully typed, non-castable and simple layout
PCC : partially typed, castable and complex layout
FCC : fully typed, castable and complex layout
FNC : fully typed, non-castable and complex layout
V : video format

Back buffers and scan outs with the DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_FLOAT format contain linear-valued gamma data.
