Constants

Constant	Description
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1	Targets features supported by feature level 9.1 including shader model 2.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_2	Targets features supported by feature level 9.2 including shader model 2.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_3	Targets features supported by feature level 9.3 including shader model 2.0b.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0	Targets features supported by Direct3D 10.0 including shader model 4.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1	Targets features supported by Direct3D 10.1 including shader model 4.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0	Targets features supported by Direct3D 11.0 including shader model 5.
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_1	Targets features supported by Direct3D 11.1 including shader model 5 and logical blend operations. This feature level requires a display driver that is at least implemented to Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) for Windows 8 (Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.2).
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_12_0	Targets features supported by Direct3D 12.0 including shader model 5.
