RenderTargetState

When creating Pipeline State Objects (PSO), DirectX 12 requires knowing the render target format, the depth/stencil buffer format, number of render targets, etc. This information is wrapped up by this helper structure which is used by Effects and SpriteBatch.

Initialization

Typically used during resource creation, with a simple initialization case such as the following (assuming your render target's format is DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM and the depth/stencil buffer is DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT):

RenderTargetState rtState(DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM, DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT);

If using the DeviceResources abstraction, it should be:

RenderTargetState rtState(m_deviceResources->GetBackBufferFormat(),
    m_deviceResources->GetDepthBufferFormat());

MSAA

If you use an MSAA render target, be sure to set the matching sample count:

rtState.sampleDesc.Count = 4; // <--- 4x MSAA
