The following table shows values that are used in the SurfaceCaps member of the D3DMCAPS structure to describe the general nature of the surfaces that are supported by a device and which memory pools support which data types.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKBACKBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows its back buffers to be locked. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKDEPTHBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows its depth/stencil buffers to be locked. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKFRONTBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows its front buffer to be locked. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_LOCKTEXTURE | Indicates that the device allows its texture maps to be locked. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_MANAGEDPOOL | Indicates that the device supports the managed memory pool for vertex buffers, index buffers, and texture maps. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSBACKBUFFER | Indicates that the device locates its render targets in the system memory pool. This capability bit is mutually exclusive with D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDBACKBUFFER. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSDEPTHBUFFER | Indicates that the device locates its depth and stencil buffers in the system memory pool. This capability bit is mutually exclusive with D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDDEPTHBUFFER. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSFRONTBUFFER | Indicates that the driver supports front buffers in system memory.
This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDFRONTBUFFER are mutually exclusive. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSIMAGESURFACE | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate image surfaces in the system memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSINDEXBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate index buffers in the system memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSTEXTURE | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate texture maps in the system memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSVERTEXBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate vertex buffers in the system memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDBACKBUFFER | Indicates that the device locates its render targets in the video memory pool.
This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSBACKBUFFER are mutually exclusive. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDDEPTHBUFFER | Indicates that the device locates its depth and stencil buffers in the video memory pool.
This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSDEPTHBUFFER are is mutually exclusive. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDFRONTBUFFER | Indicates that the driver supports front buffers in video memory.
This capability bit and D3DMSURFCAPS_SYSFRONTBUFFER are mutually exclusive. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDIMAGESURFACE | Indicates that the device allows you to the allocate of image surfaces in the video memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDINDEXBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate index buffers in the video memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDTEXTURE | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate texture maps in the video memory pool. |
| D3DMSURFCAPS_VIDVERTEXBUFFER | Indicates that the device allows you to allocate vertex buffers in the video memory pool. |
