# vkGetPhysicalDeviceMultisamplePropertiesEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetPhysicalDeviceMultisamplePropertiesEXT - Report sample count specific multisampling capabilities of a physical device

## C Specification

In addition to the minimum capabilities described for (Limits) above, implementations may support additional multisampling capabilities specific to a particular sample count.

To query additional sample count specific multisampling capabilities, call:

    void vkGetPhysicalDeviceMultisamplePropertiesEXT(
        VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
        VkSampleCountFlagBits                       samples,
        VkMultisamplePropertiesEXT*                 pMultisampleProperties);

## Parameters

- `physicalDevice` is the physical device from which to query the additional multisampling capabilities.

- `samples` is the sample count to query the capabilities for.

- `pMultisampleProperties` is a pointer to a VkMultisamplePropertiesEXT structure in which information about the additional multisampling capabilities specific to the sample count is returned.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `physicalDevice` must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

- `samples` must be a valid VkSampleCountFlagBits value

- `pMultisampleProperties` must be a valid pointer to a VkMultisamplePropertiesEXT structure
