# VkConservativeRasterizationModeEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkConservativeRasterizationModeEXT - Specify the conservative rasterization mode

## C Specification

Possible values of VkPipelineRasterizationConservativeStateCreateInfoEXT::`conservativeRasterizationMode`, specifying the conservative rasterization mode are:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_conservative_rasterization
    typedef enum VkConservativeRasterizationModeEXT {
        VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_DISABLED_EXT = 0,
        VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_OVERESTIMATE_EXT = 1,
        VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_UNDERESTIMATE_EXT = 2,
    } VkConservativeRasterizationModeEXT;

## Description

- VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_DISABLED_EXT specifies that conservative rasterization is disabled and rasterization proceeds as normal.

- VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_OVERESTIMATE_EXT specifies that conservative rasterization is enabled in overestimation mode.

- VK_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_MODE_UNDERESTIMATE_EXT specifies that conservative rasterization is enabled in underestimation mode.
