Description

This extension provides a new physical device query which allows retrieving information about the driver implementation, allowing applications to determine which physical device corresponds to which particular vendor’s driver, and which conformance test suite version the driver implementation is compliant with.

Promotion to Vulkan 1.2

All functionality in this extension is included in core Vulkan 1.2, with the KHR suffix omitted. The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

New Structures

• ConformanceVersionKHR

• Extending PhysicalDeviceProperties2:

  • PhysicalDeviceDriverPropertiesKHR

New Enums

• DriverIdKHR

New Enum Constants

• KHR_DRIVER_PROPERTIES_EXTENSION_NAME

• KHR_DRIVER_PROPERTIES_SPEC_VERSION
• MAX_DRIVER_INFO_SIZE_KHR
• MAX_DRIVER_NAME_SIZE_KHR

• Extending DriverId:

  • DRIVER_ID_AMD_OPEN_SOURCE_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_AMD_PROPRIETARY_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_ARM_PROPRIETARY_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_BROADCOM_PROPRIETARY_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_GGP_PROPRIETARY_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_GOOGLE_SWIFTSHADER_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_IMAGINATION_PROPRIETARY_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_INTEL_OPEN_SOURCE_MESA_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_INTEL_PROPRIETARY_WINDOWS_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_MESA_RADV_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_NVIDIA_PROPRIETARY_KHR
  • DRIVER_ID_QUALCOMM_PROPRIETARY_KHR

• Extending StructureType:

  • STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_DRIVER_PROPERTIES_KHR
