Represents the sets of limits an adapter/device supports.

We provide three different defaults.

• Limits::downlevel_defaults(). This is a set of limits that is guaranteed to work on almost all backends, including “downlevel” backends such as OpenGL and D3D11, other than WebGL. For most applications we recommend using these limits, assuming they are high enough for your application, and you do not intent to support WebGL.
• Limits::downlevel_webgl2_defaults() This is a set of limits that is lower even than the downlevel_defaults(), configured to be low enough to support running in the browser using WebGL2.
• Limits::default(). This is the set of limits that is guaranteed to work on all modern backends and is guaranteed to be supported by WebGPU. Applications needing more modern features can use this as a reasonable set of limits if they are targeting only desktop and modern mobile devices.

We recommend starting with the most restrictive limits you can and manually increasing the limits you need boosted. This will let you stay running on all hardware that supports the limits you need.

Limits “better” than the default must be supported by the adapter and requested when requesting a device. If limits “better” than the adapter supports are requested, requesting a device will panic. Once a device is requested, you may only use resources up to the limits requested even if the adapter supports “better” limits.

Requesting limits that are “better” than you need may cause performance to decrease because the implementation needs to support more than is needed. You should ideally only request exactly what you need.

Corresponds to WebGPU GPUSupportedLimits.

max_push_constant_size: u32

Amount of storage available for push constants in bytes. Defaults to 0. Higher is “better”. Requesting more than 0 during device creation requires Features::PUSH_CONSTANTS to be enabled.

Expect the size to be:

• Vulkan: 128-256 bytes
• DX12: 256 bytes
• Metal: 4096 bytes
• OpenGL doesn’t natively support push constants, and are emulated with uniforms, so this number is less useful but likely 256.

max_non_sampler_bindings: u32

Maximum number of live non-sampler bindings.

This limit only affects the d3d12 backend. Using a large number will allow the device to create many bind groups at the cost of a large up-front allocation at device creation.

});

pub const fn using_resolution(self, other: Self) -> Self

Modify the current limits to use the resolution limits of the other.

This is useful because the swapchain might need to be larger than any other image in the application.

If your application only needs 512x512, you might be running on a 4k display and need extremely high resolution limits.

pub const fn using_alignment(self, other: Self) -> Self

Modify the current limits to use the buffer alignment limits of the adapter.

This is useful for when you’d like to dynamically use the “best” supported buffer alignments.

pub fn check_limits(&self, allowed: &Self) -> bool

Compares every limits within self is within the limits given in allowed.

If you need detailed information on failures, look at Limits::check_limits_with_fail_fn.

pub fn check_limits_with_fail_fn( &self, allowed: &Self, fatal: bool, fail_fn: impl FnMut(&'static str, u64, u64) )

Compares every limits within self is within the limits given in allowed. For an easy to use binary choice, use Limits::check_limits.

If a value is not within the allowed limit, this function calls the fail_fn with the:

• limit name
• self’s limit
• allowed’s limit.

If fatal is true, a single failure bails out the comparison after a single failure.
