About this tag
The gpu development tag on WindowsForum.com covers graphics programming news and technical discussion, including API specification updates that affect how software talks to graphics hardware. Recent coverage highlights Vulkan 1.4.363 and its Intel-specific VK_INTEL_device_info extension, which lets applications query an Intel GPU's graphics IP architecture, release, and revision directly from the Vulkan driver. The discussion notes that this reduces the need for developers to maintain their own mapping tables to distinguish Intel GPU generations or revisions. Expect posts here to focus on graphics APIs, driver capabilities, and the practical details developers need when targeting modern GPUs.
