Known Driver Issues

Connor Fitzgerald edited this page Dec 1, 2020 · 15 revisions

This page lists known issues with drivers that are not, or cannot, be worked around by wgpu.

Issues are categorised by GPU vendor and backend. Where details such as "driver version" are recorded, they are not intended to be exhaustive: these are just the values where the issue has been observed. Just because your combination is not explicitly listed does not mean you aren't susceptible to the same issue.

Intel / Vulkan

  • Integrated GPU not visible to programs named cube

    Property Values observed
    Operating System Windows
    Driver OEM Intel, Microsoft
    Driver Version 27.20.100.8935

    In a dual-GPU system, the driver for the Intel GPU will hide itself from programs named cube.

    The issue can be worked around by disabling the discrete GPU or by renaming the program to something other than cube.

Intel / DirectX 12

  • Offset after resizing window

    Recording

    Property Values observed
    Operating System Windows
    Driver OEM Microsoft
    Driver Version 26.20.100.7639

    This issue affects programs running on any GPU if the Intel GPU is being used by the compositor. This would typically be the case in dual-GPU systems.

    It can be worked around by replacing the Microsoft OEM driver with the generic Intel driver.

Intel / DX11

  • Buffer write not synchronized with draw

    Property Values observed
    Operating System Windows

    Buffer upload isn't being properly synchronized with the draw call that is using it. This is entirely on the driver to get right, there is no way to do manual sync.

Intel / All

  • Cannot combine MSAA with Srgb resolve

    https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/725

    Property Values observed
    Operating System Linux

    Attempting to do MSAA resolve at the same time as Srgb resolve will cause MSAA to not work and the clear color to not be properly converted into Srgb.
