Efficient Rendering with DirectX 12 on Intel Graphics

Resource Descriptors
Resources views are effectively just a small structure
– Metadata and a pointer to memory (usually ~32-64 bytes)
– Stuff like texture dimensions, format, layout, etc.
Direct3D <strong>12</strong> directly exposes these “descriptors”
– Independent from the actual memory they reference
– Can be created/copied/etc. freely
– Application must ensure no dangling pointers
