Features

Features advertise additional functionality which can be enabled in the API. If a feature is supported by a physical device, it must be enabled when creating a VkDevice in order to use its associated functionality with that VkDevice. If a feature is unsupported, that functionality cannot be used with that VkDevice.

Features are reported via the basic VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure, as well as the extensible structure VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, which was added in the VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2 extension and included in Vulkan 1.1. When new features are added in future Vulkan versions or extensions, each extension should introduce one new feature structure, if needed. This structure can be added to the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure.

For convenience, new core versions of Vulkan may introduce new unified feature structures for features promoted from extensions. At the same time, the extension’s original feature structure (if any) is also promoted to the core API, and is an alias of the extension’s structure. This results in multiple names for the same feature: in the original extension’s feature structure and the promoted structure alias, in the unified feature structure. When a feature was implicitly supported and enabled in the extension, but an explicit name was added during promotion, then the extension itself acts as an alias for the feature as listed in the table below.

All aliases of the same feature in the core API must be reported consistently: either all must be reported as supported, or none of them. When a promoted extension is available, any corresponding feature aliases must be supported.

Table 1. Extension Feature Aliases
Extension	Feature(s)
`VK_KHR_shader_draw_parameters`	`shaderDrawParameters`
`VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count`	`drawIndirectCount`
`VK_KHR_sampler_mirror_clamp_to_edge`	`samplerMirrorClampToEdge`
`VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing`	`descriptorIndexing`
`VK_EXT_sampler_filter_minmax`	`samplerFilterMinmax`
`VK_EXT_shader_viewport_index_layer`	`shaderOutputViewportIndex`, `shaderOutputLayer`
`VK_KHR_push_descriptor`	`pushDescriptor`

To query supported features, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures(
    VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
    VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures*                   pFeatures);

physicalDevice is the physical device from which to query the supported features.
pFeatures is a pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure in which the physical device features are returned. For each feature, a value of VK_TRUE specifies that the feature is supported on this physical device, and VK_FALSE specifies that the feature is not supported.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures-physicalDevice-parameter
physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle
VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures-pFeatures-parameter
pFeatures must be a valid pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure

Fine-grained features used by a logical device must be enabled at VkDevice creation time. If a feature is enabled that the physical device does not support, VkDevice creation will fail and return VK_ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT.

The fine-grained features are enabled by passing a pointer to the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure via the pEnabledFeatures member of the VkDeviceCreateInfo structure that is passed into the vkCreateDevice call. If a member of pEnabledFeatures is VK_TRUE or VK_FALSE, then the device will be created with the indicated feature enabled or disabled, respectively. Features can also be enabled by using the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure.

If an application wishes to enable all features supported by a device, it can simply pass in the VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure that was previously returned by vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures. To disable an individual feature, the application can set the desired member to VK_FALSE in the same structure. Setting pEnabledFeatures to NULL and not including a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 in the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo is equivalent to setting all members of the structure to VK_FALSE.

Some features, such as robustBufferAccess, may incur a runtime performance cost. Application writers should carefully consider the implications of enabling all supported features.

To query supported features defined by the core or extensions, call:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2(
    VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
    VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2*                  pFeatures);

or the equivalent command

// Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
void vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2KHR(
    VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
    VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2*                  pFeatures);

physicalDevice is the physical device from which to query the supported features.
pFeatures is a pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure in which the physical device features are returned.

Each structure in pFeatures and its pNext chain contains members corresponding to fine-grained features. Each structure in pFeatures and its pNext chain contains VkBool32 members corresponding to fine-grained features. Each such member is returned with a VK_TRUE value indicating that feature is supported on this physical device, or a VK_FALSE value indicating it is unsupported.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2-physicalDevice-parameter
physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle
VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2-pFeatures-parameter
pFeatures must be a valid pointer to a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure

The VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 {
    VkStructureType             sType;
    void*                       pNext;
    VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures    features;
} VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2;

or the equivalent

// Provided by VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2
typedef VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2KHR;

sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
features is a VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures structure describing the fine-grained features of the Vulkan 1.0 API.

The pNext chain of this structure is used to extend the structure with features defined by extensions. This structure can be used in vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2 or can be included in the pNext chain of a VkDeviceCreateInfo structure, in which case it controls which features are enabled in lieu of pEnabledFeatures.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkPhysicalDeviceFeatures2-sType-sType
sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_FEATURES_2

This structure describes the following features:

robustBufferAccess specifies that accesses to buffers are bounds-checked against the range of the buffer descriptor (as determined by VkDescriptorBufferInfo::range, VkBufferViewCreateInfo::range, or the size of the buffer). Out of bounds accesses must not cause application termination, and the effects of shader loads, stores, and atomics must conform to an implementation-dependent behavior as described below.

A buffer access is considered to be out of bounds if any of the following are true:

The pointer was formed by OpImageTexelPointer and the coordinate is less than zero or greater than or equal to the number of whole elements in the bound range.
The pointer was not formed by OpImageTexelPointer and the object pointed to is not wholly contained within the bound range. This includes accesses performed via variable pointers where the buffer descriptor being accessed cannot be statically determined. Uninitialized pointers and pointers equal to OpConstantNull are treated as pointing to a zero-sized object, so all accesses through such pointers are considered to be out of bounds. Buffer accesses through buffer device addresses are not bounds-checked.
If the VkPhysicalDeviceCooperativeMatrixFeaturesNV::cooperativeMatrixRobustBufferAccess feature is not enabled, then accesses using OpCooperativeMatrixLoadNV and OpCooperativeMatrixStoreNV may not be bounds-checked.

If the VkPhysicalDeviceCooperativeMatrixFeaturesKHR::cooperativeMatrixRobustBufferAccess feature is not enabled, then accesses using OpCooperativeMatrixLoadKHR and OpCooperativeMatrixStoreKHR may not be bounds-checked.

If a SPIR-V OpLoad instruction loads a structure and the tail end of the structure is out of bounds, then all members of the structure are considered out of bounds even if the members at the end are not statically used.

If the robustBufferAccess2 feature is not enabled and any buffer access is determined to be out of bounds, then any other access of the same type (load, store, or atomic) to the same buffer that accesses an address less than 16 bytes away from the out of bounds address may also be considered out of bounds.
If the access is a load that reads from the same memory locations as a prior store in the same shader invocation, with no other intervening accesses to the same memory locations in that shader invocation, then the result of the load may be the value stored by the store instruction, even if the access is out of bounds. If the load is Volatile, then an out of bounds load must return the appropriate out of bounds value.

Accesses to descriptors written with a VK_NULL_HANDLE resource or view are not considered to be out of bounds. Instead, each type of descriptor access defines a specific behavior for accesses to a null descriptor.
Out-of-bounds buffer loads will return any of the following values:
- If the access is to a uniform buffer and the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, loads of offsets between the end of the descriptor range and the end of the descriptor range rounded up to a multiple of robustUniformBufferAccessSizeAlignment bytes must return either zero values or the contents of the memory at the offset being loaded. Loads of offsets past the descriptor range rounded up to a multiple of robustUniformBufferAccessSizeAlignment bytes must return zero values.
- If the access is to a storage buffer and the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, loads of offsets between the end of the descriptor range and the end of the descriptor range rounded up to a multiple of robustStorageBufferAccessSizeAlignment bytes must return either zero values or the contents of the memory at the offset being loaded. Loads of offsets past the descriptor range rounded up to a multiple of robustStorageBufferAccessSizeAlignment bytes must return zero values. Similarly, stores to addresses between the end of the descriptor range and the end of the descriptor range rounded up to a multiple of robustStorageBufferAccessSizeAlignment bytes may be discarded.
- Non-atomic accesses to storage buffers that are a multiple of 32 bits may be decomposed into 32-bit accesses that are individually bounds-checked.
- If the access is to an index buffer and the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, zero values must be returned.
- If the access is to a uniform texel buffer or storage texel buffer and the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, zero values must be returned, and then Conversion to RGBA is applied based on the buffer view’s format.
- Values from anywhere within the memory range(s) bound to the buffer (possibly including bytes of memory past the end of the buffer, up to the end of the bound range).
- Zero values, or (0,0,0,x) vectors for vector reads where x is a valid value represented in the type of the vector components and may be any of:
  - 0, 1, or the maximum representable positive integer value, for signed or unsigned integer components
  - 0.0 or 1.0, for floating-point components
Out-of-bounds writes may modify values within the memory range(s) bound to the buffer, but must not modify any other memory.
- If the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, out of bounds writes must not modify any memory.
Out-of-bounds atomics may modify values within the memory range(s) bound to the buffer, but must not modify any other memory, and return an undefined value.
- If the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, out of bounds atomics must not modify any memory, and return an undefined value.
If the robustBufferAccess2 feature is not enabled, vertex input attributes are considered out of bounds if the offset of the attribute in the bound vertex buffer range plus the size of the attribute is greater than either:
- vertexBufferRangeSize, if bindingStride == 0; or
- (vertexBufferRangeSize - (vertexBufferRangeSize % bindingStride))
where vertexBufferRangeSize is the byte size of the memory range bound to the vertex buffer binding and bindingStride is the byte stride of the corresponding vertex input binding. Further, if any vertex input attribute using a specific vertex input binding is out of bounds, then all vertex input attributes using that vertex input binding for that vertex shader invocation are considered out of bounds.
- If a vertex input attribute is out of bounds, it will be assigned one of the following values:
  - Values from anywhere within the memory range(s) bound to the buffer, converted according to the format of the attribute.
  - Zero values, format converted according to the format of the attribute.
  - Zero values, or (0,0,0,x) vectors, as described above.
If the robustBufferAccess2 feature is enabled, vertex input attributes are considered out of bounds if the offset of the attribute in the bound vertex buffer range plus the size of the attribute is greater than the byte size of the memory range bound to the vertex buffer binding.
- If a vertex input attribute is out of bounds, the raw data extracted are zero values, and missing G, B, or A components are filled with (0.
If robustBufferAccess is not enabled, applications must not perform out of bounds accesses except under the conditions enabled by the pipelineRobustness feature .

fullDrawIndexUint32 specifies the full 32-bit range of indices is supported for indexed draw calls when using a VkIndexType of VK_INDEX_TYPE_UINT32. maxDrawIndexedIndexValue is the maximum index value that may be used (aside from the primitive restart index, which is always 2³²-1 when the VkIndexType is VK_INDEX_TYPE_UINT32). If this feature is supported, maxDrawIndexedIndexValue must be 2³²-1; otherwise it must be no smaller than 2²⁴-1. See maxDrawIndexedIndexValue.
imageCubeArray specifies whether image views with a VkImageViewType of VK_IMAGE_VIEW_TYPE_CUBE_ARRAY can be created, and that the corresponding SampledCubeArray and ImageCubeArray SPIR-V capabilities can be used in shader code.
independentBlend specifies whether the VkPipelineColorBlendAttachmentState settings are controlled independently per-attachment. If this feature is not enabled, the VkPipelineColorBlendAttachmentState settings for all color attachments must be identical. Otherwise, a different VkPipelineColorBlendAttachmentState can be provided for each bound color attachment.
geometryShader specifies whether geometry shaders are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_SHADER_STAGE_GEOMETRY_BIT and VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_GEOMETRY_SHADER_BIT enum values must not be used. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the Geometry capability.
tessellationShader specifies whether tessellation control and evaluation shaders are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_SHADER_STAGE_TESSELLATION_CONTROL_BIT, VK_SHADER_STAGE_TESSELLATION_EVALUATION_BIT, VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TESSELLATION_CONTROL_SHADER_BIT, VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TESSELLATION_EVALUATION_SHADER_BIT, and VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_TESSELLATION_STATE_CREATE_INFO enum values must not be used. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the Tessellation capability.
sampleRateShading specifies whether Sample Shading and multisample interpolation are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the sampleShadingEnable member of the VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo structure must be VK_FALSE and the minSampleShading member is ignored. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the SampleRateShading capability.
dualSrcBlend specifies whether blend operations which take two sources are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_BLEND_FACTOR_SRC1_COLOR, VK_BLEND_FACTOR_ONE_MINUS_SRC1_COLOR, VK_BLEND_FACTOR_SRC1_ALPHA, and VK_BLEND_FACTOR_ONE_MINUS_SRC1_ALPHA enum values must not be used as source or destination blending factors. See Dual-Source Blending.
logicOp specifies whether logic operations are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the logicOpEnable member of the VkPipelineColorBlendStateCreateInfo structure must be VK_FALSE, and the logicOp member is ignored.
multiDrawIndirect specifies whether multiple draw indirect is supported. If this feature is not enabled, the drawCount parameter to the vkCmdDrawIndirect and vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect commands must be 0 or 1. The maxDrawIndirectCount member of the VkPhysicalDeviceLimits structure must also be 1 if this feature is not supported. See maxDrawIndirectCount.
drawIndirectFirstInstance specifies whether indirect drawing calls support the firstInstance parameter. If this feature is not enabled, the firstInstance member of all VkDrawIndirectCommand and VkDrawIndexedIndirectCommand structures that are provided to the vkCmdDrawIndirect and vkCmdDrawIndexedIndirect commands must be 0.
depthClamp specifies whether depth clamping is supported. If this feature is not enabled, the depthClampEnable member of the VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo structure must be VK_FALSE. Otherwise, setting depthClampEnable to VK_TRUE will enable depth clamping.
depthBiasClamp specifies whether depth bias clamping is supported. If this feature is not enabled, the depthBiasClamp member of the VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo structure must be 0.0 unless the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_BIAS dynamic state is enabled, in which case the depthBiasClamp parameter to vkCmdSetDepthBias must be 0.0.
fillModeNonSolid specifies whether point and wireframe fill modes are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_POLYGON_MODE_POINT and VK_POLYGON_MODE_LINE enum values must not be used.
depthBounds specifies whether depth bounds tests are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the depthBoundsTestEnable member of the VkPipelineDepthStencilStateCreateInfo structure must be VK_FALSE unless the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_DEPTH_BOUNDS_TEST_ENABLE dynamic state is enabled, in which case the depthBoundsTestEnable parameter to vkCmdSetDepthBoundsTestEnable must be VK_FALSE. When depthBoundsTestEnable is VK_FALSE, the minDepthBounds and maxDepthBounds members of the VkPipelineDepthStencilStateCreateInfo structure are ignored.
wideLines specifies whether lines with width other than 1.0 are supported. If this feature is not enabled, the lineWidth member of the VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo structure must be 1.0 unless the VK_DYNAMIC_STATE_LINE_WIDTH dynamic state is enabled, in which case the lineWidth parameter to vkCmdSetLineWidth must be 1.0. When this feature is supported, the range and granularity of supported line widths are indicated by the lineWidthRange and lineWidthGranularity members of the VkPhysicalDeviceLimits structure, respectively.
largePoints specifies whether points with size greater than 1.0 are supported. If this feature is not enabled, only a point size of 1.0 written by a shader is supported. The range and granularity of supported point sizes are indicated by the pointSizeRange and pointSizeGranularity members of the VkPhysicalDeviceLimits structure, respectively.
alphaToOne specifies whether the implementation is able to replace the alpha value of the fragment shader color output in the Multisample Coverage fragment operation. If this feature is not enabled, then the alphaToOneEnable member of the VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo structure must be VK_FALSE. Otherwise setting alphaToOneEnable to VK_TRUE will enable alpha-to-one behavior.
multiViewport specifies whether more than one viewport is supported. If this feature is not enabled:
- The viewportCount and scissorCount members of the VkPipelineViewportStateCreateInfo structure must be 1.
- The firstViewport and viewportCount parameters to the vkCmdSetViewport command must be 0 and 1, respectively.
- The firstScissor and scissorCount parameters to the vkCmdSetScissor command must be 0 and 1, respectively.
- The exclusiveScissorCount member of the VkPipelineViewportExclusiveScissorStateCreateInfoNV structure must be 0 or 1.
- The firstExclusiveScissor and exclusiveScissorCount parameters to the vkCmdSetExclusiveScissorNV command must be 0 and 1, respectively.
samplerAnisotropy specifies whether anisotropic filtering is supported. If this feature is not enabled, the anisotropyEnable member of the VkSamplerCreateInfo structure must be VK_FALSE.
textureCompressionETC2 specifies whether all of the ETC2 and EAC compressed texture formats are supported. If this feature is enabled, then the VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT, VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT and VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT features must be supported in optimalTilingFeatures for the following formats:

textureCompressionASTC_LDR specifies whether all of the ASTC LDR compressed texture formats are supported. If this feature is enabled, then the VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT, VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT and VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT features must be supported in optimalTilingFeatures for the following formats:

To query for additional properties, or if the feature is not enabled, vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties and vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties can be used to check for supported properties of individual formats as normal.
textureCompressionBC specifies whether all of the BC compressed texture formats are supported. If this feature is enabled, then the VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT, VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT and VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT features must be supported in optimalTilingFeatures for the following formats:

- VK_FORMAT_BC7_SRGB_BLOCK
To query for additional properties, or if the feature is not enabled, vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties and vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties can be used to check for supported properties of individual formats as normal.
occlusionQueryPrecise specifies whether occlusion queries returning actual sample counts are supported. Occlusion queries are created in a VkQueryPool by specifying the queryType of VK_QUERY_TYPE_OCCLUSION in the VkQueryPoolCreateInfo structure which is passed to vkCreateQueryPool. If this feature is enabled, queries of this type can enable VK_QUERY_CONTROL_PRECISE_BIT in the flags parameter to vkCmdBeginQuery. If this feature is not supported, the implementation supports only boolean occlusion queries. When any samples are passed, boolean queries will return a non-zero result value, otherwise a result value of zero is returned. When this feature is enabled and VK_QUERY_CONTROL_PRECISE_BIT is set, occlusion queries will report the actual number of samples passed.
pipelineStatisticsQuery specifies whether the pipeline statistics queries are supported. If this feature is not enabled, queries of type VK_QUERY_TYPE_PIPELINE_STATISTICS cannot be created, and none of the VkQueryPipelineStatisticFlagBits bits can be set in the pipelineStatistics member of the VkQueryPoolCreateInfo structure.
vertexPipelineStoresAndAtomics specifies whether storage buffers and images support stores and atomic operations in the vertex, tessellation, and geometry shader stages. If this feature is not enabled, all storage image, storage texel buffer, and storage buffer variables used by these stages in shader modules must be decorated with the NonWritable decoration (or the readonly memory qualifier in GLSL).
fragmentStoresAndAtomics specifies whether storage buffers and images support stores and atomic operations in the fragment shader stage. If this feature is not enabled, all storage image, storage texel buffer, and storage buffer variables used by the fragment stage in shader modules must be decorated with the NonWritable decoration (or the readonly memory qualifier in GLSL).
shaderTessellationAndGeometryPointSize specifies whether the PointSize built-in decoration is available in the tessellation control, tessellation evaluation, and geometry shader stages. If this feature is not enabled, members decorated with the PointSize built-in decoration must not be read from or written to and all points written from a tessellation or geometry shader will have a size of 1.0. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the TessellationPointSize capability for tessellation control and evaluation shaders, or if the shader modules can declare the GeometryPointSize capability for geometry shaders. An implementation supporting this feature must also support one or both of the tessellationShader or geometryShader features.
shaderImageGatherExtended specifies whether the extended set of image gather instructions are available in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, the OpImage*Gather instructions do not support the Offset and ConstOffsets operands. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the ImageGatherExtended capability.

shaderStorageImageExtendedFormats specifies whether all the “storage image extended formats” below are supported; if this feature is supported, then the VK_FORMAT_FEATURE_STORAGE_IMAGE_BIT must be supported in optimalTilingFeatures for the following formats:

VK_FORMAT_R16G16_SFLOAT
VK_FORMAT_B10G11R11_UFLOAT_PACK32
VK_FORMAT_R16_SFLOAT

shaderStorageImageExtendedFormats feature only adds a guarantee of format support, which is specified for the whole physical device. Therefore enabling or disabling the feature via vkCreateDevice has no practical effect.

To query for additional properties, or if the feature is not supported, vkGetPhysicalDeviceFormatProperties and vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties can be used to check for supported properties of individual formats, as usual rules allow.

VK_FORMAT_R32G32_UINT, VK_FORMAT_R32G32_SINT, and VK_FORMAT_R32G32_SFLOAT from StorageImageExtendedFormats SPIR-V capability, are already covered by core Vulkan mandatory format support.

shaderStorageImageMultisample specifies whether multisampled storage images are supported. If this feature is not enabled, images that are created with a usage that includes VK_IMAGE_USAGE_STORAGE_BIT must be created with samples equal to VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the StorageImageMultisample and ImageMSArray capabilities.
shaderStorageImageReadWithoutFormat specifies whether storage images and storage texel buffers require a format qualifier to be specified when reading. shaderStorageImageReadWithoutFormat applies only to formats listed in the storage without format list.
shaderStorageImageWriteWithoutFormat specifies whether storage images and storage texel buffers require a format qualifier to be specified when writing. shaderStorageImageWriteWithoutFormat applies only to formats listed in the storage without format list.
shaderUniformBufferArrayDynamicIndexing specifies whether arrays of uniform buffers can be indexed by integer expressions that are dynamically uniform within either the subgroup or the invocation group in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, resources with a descriptor type of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_BUFFER_DYNAMIC must be indexed only by constant integral expressions when aggregated into arrays in shader code. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the UniformBufferArrayDynamicIndexing capability.
shaderSampledImageArrayDynamicIndexing specifies whether arrays of samplers or sampled images can be indexed by integer expressions that are dynamically uniform within either the subgroup or the invocation group in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, resources with a descriptor type of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLER, VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER, or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE must be indexed only by constant integral expressions when aggregated into arrays in shader code. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the SampledImageArrayDynamicIndexing capability.
shaderStorageBufferArrayDynamicIndexing specifies whether arrays of storage buffers can be indexed by integer expressions that are dynamically uniform within either the subgroup or the invocation group in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, resources with a descriptor type of VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER or VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_BUFFER_DYNAMIC must be indexed only by constant integral expressions when aggregated into arrays in shader code. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the StorageBufferArrayDynamicIndexing capability.

shaderInt64 specifies whether 64-bit integers (signed and unsigned) are supported in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, 64-bit integer types must not be used in shader code. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the Int64 capability. Declaring and using 64-bit integers is enabled for all storage classes that SPIR-V allows with the Int64 capability.
shaderInt16 specifies whether 16-bit integers (signed and unsigned) are supported in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, 16-bit integer types must not be used in shader code. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the Int16 capability. However, this only enables a subset of the storage classes that SPIR-V allows for the Int16 SPIR-V capability: Declaring and using 16-bit integers in the Private, Workgroup (for non-Block variables), and Function storage classes is enabled, while declaring them in the interface storage classes (e.g., UniformConstant, Uniform, StorageBuffer, Input, Output, and PushConstant) is not enabled.
shaderResourceResidency specifies whether image operations that return resource residency information are supported in shader code. If this feature is not enabled, the OpImageSparse* instructions must not be used in shader code. This also specifies whether shader modules can declare the SparseResidency capability. The feature requires at least one of the sparseResidency* features to be supported.

sparseBinding specifies whether resource memory can be managed at opaque sparse block level instead of at the object level. If this feature is not enabled, resource memory must be bound only on a per-object basis using the vkBindBufferMemory and vkBindImageMemory commands. In this case, buffers and images must not be created with VK_BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT and VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT set in the flags member of the VkBufferCreateInfo and VkImageCreateInfo structures, respectively. Otherwise resource memory can be managed as described in Sparse Resource Features.

sparseResidency8Samples specifies whether the physical device can access partially resident 2D images with 8 samples per pixel. If this feature is not enabled, images with an imageType of VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D and samples set to VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_8_BIT must not be created with VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT set in the flags member of the VkImageCreateInfo structure.

If this feature is not enabled, images with an imageType of VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D and samples set to VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_16_BIT must not be created with VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT set in the flags member of the VkImageCreateInfo structure.
sparseResidencyAliased specifies whether the physical device can correctly access data aliased into multiple locations. If this feature is not enabled, the VK_BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT and VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT enum values must not be used in flags members of the VkBufferCreateInfo and VkImageCreateInfo structures, respectively.
variableMultisampleRate specifies whether all pipelines that will be bound to a command buffer during a subpass which uses no attachments must have the same value for VkPipelineMultisampleStateCreateInfo::rasterizationSamples. If set to VK_TRUE, the implementation supports variable multisample rates in a subpass which uses no attachments. If set to VK_FALSE, then all pipelines bound in such a subpass must have the same multisample rate. This has no effect in situations where a subpass uses any attachments.
inheritedQueries specifies whether a secondary command buffer may be executed while a query is active.

The VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupSizeControlFeaturesEXT structure was added in version 2 of the VK_EXT_subgroup_size_control extension. Version 1 implementations of this extension will not fill out the features structure but applications may assume that both subgroupSizeControl and computeFullSubgroups are supported if the extension is supported. (See also the Feature Requirements section.) Applications are advised to add a VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupSizeControlFeaturesEXT structure to the pNext chain of VkDeviceCreateInfo to enable the features regardless of the version of the extension supported by the implementation. If the implementation only supports version 1, it will safely ignore the VkPhysicalDeviceSubgroupSizeControlFeaturesEXT structure.
