D3d12info

D3d12info is a powerful Windows console program that provides comprehensive information about the GPU (graphics chip) installed in a system. D3d12info draws inspiration from vulkaninfo, a similar tool for Vulkan API, and serves as an alternative to the GUI program ‘DirectX Caps Viewer’ found in the Windows SDK

Once executed, the app generates an output that includes essential information about the GPU, such as vendor details, supported feature levels, driver versions, and other relevant data. While this type of data may not be interesting for the average user, it can come in handy for anyone looking for innovative ways to optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, or develop graphics-intensive applications, for instance.

The idea behind the app is to gather data from multiple sources to provide you with detailed insights into the capabilities and features of the graphics device installed. Some of the sources it collects information include DXGI, Direct3D 12 (D3D12), AMD AGS, NVAPI or WinAPI.

Through DXGI, the tool accesses a wealth of graphics-related data, including the adapter information, display modes, and supported feature levels. Direct3D 12 (D3D12) grants access to crucial details about the device's capabilities, including hardware queues, shader model support, memory properties, and resource limits. Thanks to WinAPI, you can learn a broad spectrum of information about the graphics device, including driver versions, adapter names, hardware IDs, and more.
