depth bounds testing

Depth bounds testing is a DirectX 12 feature introduced with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. It allows developers to optimize rendering by discarding pixels outside a specified depth range, improving performance in games and graphics applications. This capability is part of Microsoft's ongoing enhancements to DirectX 12, which aim to deliver better graphics, faster performance, and greater stability for high-end AAA titles on Windows and Xbox. The feature is particularly useful for advanced rendering techniques like shadow mapping and post-processing effects, where controlling depth precision can reduce overdraw and improve frame rates.
