Limits

Limits are implementation-dependent minimums, maximums, and other device characteristics that an application may need to be aware of.

Limits are reported via the basic VkPhysicalDeviceLimits structure as well as the extensible structure VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2, which was added in VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2 and included in Vulkan 1.1. When limits are added in future Vulkan versions or extensions, each extension should introduce one new limit structure, if needed. This structure can be added to the pNext chain of the VkPhysicalDeviceProperties2 structure.

Additional Multisampling Capabilities

vkGetPhysicalDeviceMultisamplePropertiesEXTReport sample count specific multisampling capabilities of a physical device
VkMultisamplePropertiesEXTStructure returning information about sample count specific additional multisampling capabilities

If the sample count for which additional multisampling capabilities are requested using vkGetPhysicalDeviceMultisamplePropertiesEXT is set in sampleLocationSampleCounts the width and height members of VkMultisamplePropertiesEXT::maxSampleLocationGridSize must be greater than or equal to the corresponding members of maxSampleLocationGridSize, respectively, otherwise both members must be 0.
