VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV(3)

# VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV - Specify that an image is bound to a dedicated memory resource

## C Specification

If the `pNext` chain includes a `VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV` structure, then that structure includes an enable controlling whether the image will have a dedicated memory allocation bound to it.

The `VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkBool32           dedicatedAllocation;
    } VkDedicatedAllocationImageCreateInfoNV;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to an extension-specific structure.

- `dedicatedAllocation` specifies whether the image will have a dedicated allocation bound to it.

## Description

| Note Using a dedicated allocation for color and depth/stencil attachments or other large images may improve performance on some devices.

Valid Usage

- If `dedicatedAllocation` is `VK_TRUE`, `VkImageCreateInfo`::`flags` must not include `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT`, `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT`, or `VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT`

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEDICATED_ALLOCATION_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO_NV`
