D3d12info

A Windows console program that gets all the information about the GPU (graphics chip) installed in the system, through DXGI and Direct3D 12 (D3D12) + AMD AGS, NVAPI, WinAPI, and some other sources.

Built and tested on Windows 10 64-bit using Visual Studio 2022.

Inspired by vulkaninfo - a similar tool that prints all the information about device capabilities using Vulkan API.

An alternative for D3D12 is a GUI program "DirectX Caps Viewer", which is part of Windows SDK and can be found in path like: c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\*\x64\dxcapsviewer.exe.

Command-line syntax

Options:
  -v --Version         Only print program version information.
  -h --Help            Only print this help (command line syntax).
  -l --List            Only print the list of all adapters.
  -a --Adapter=<Index> Print details of adapter at specified index (default is the first hardware adapter).
  -j --JSON            Print output in JSON format instead of human-friendly text.
  -f --Formats         Include information about DXGI format capabilities.
  -e --Enums           Include information about all known enums and their values.
