Command Line Arguments

You can start vulkan-renderer with the following command line arguments:

--gpu <index>

Specifies which GPU to use by array index, starting from 0.

Note

The engine checks if this index is valid. If the index is invalid, automatic GPU selection rules apply.

--no-separate-data-queue

Disables the use of the special data transfer queue (forces use of the graphics queue).

Warning

Enabling this option could decrease the overall performance. Don’t enable this option unless you have to.

--no-validation

Disables Vulkan validation layers.

Warning

You should never disable validation layers because they offer extensive error checks for debugging.

--no-vk-debug-markers

Disables Vulkan debug markers (even if --renderdoc is specified).

--renderdoc

Enables the RenderDoc debug layer.

--vsync

Warning

Vsync is currently not implemented. The command line argument will be ignored.

Enables vertical synchronization (limits FPS to monitor refresh rate).
