Methods
The IDXGIAdapter interface has these methods.
| IDXGIAdapter::CheckInterfaceSupport Checks whether the system supports a device interface for a graphics component. |
| IDXGIAdapter::EnumOutputs Enumerate adapter (video card) outputs. |
| IDXGIAdapter::GetDesc Gets a DXGI 1.0 description of an adapter (or video card). |
Remarks
A display subsystem is often referred to as a video card, however, on some machines the display subsystem is part of the motherboard.
To enumerate the display subsystems, use IDXGIFactory::EnumAdapters.
To get an interface to the adapter for a particular device, use IDXGIDevice::GetAdapter.
To create a software adapter, use IDXGIFactory::CreateSoftwareAdapter.
