Description

https://github.com/microsoft/DxCapsViewer/blob/d498da0e46e04eab9361dca1f16e591812412932/dxgi.cpp#L1662

The D3D runtime and drivers are reporting support for these features in FL11_0, but dxcapsviewer makes out that they aren't supported by explicitly setting them to 'No'.

The shader model is also incorrectly reported for FL11_0 and FL11_1.

Research direction

Start by reading dxgi.cpp at line 1662 and trace how feature-level capability values are displayed. Check the FL11_0 feature and shader-model reporting against the behavior described in the issue. Done means supported features no longer show “No” and shader models for FL11_0 and FL11_1 are reported correctly.
