Hardware Support for Direct3D 10.1 Formats

This section specifies the formats (DXGI_FORMAT values) that are supported in Direct3D 10.1 hardware, which means that a Direct3D 10.1–class (or better) video card implements hardware acceleration for a resource that contains data in one of those particular formats. Those formats whose support is specified as optional, might or might not be hardware accelerated. Each subsection specifies the formats that Direct3D 10.1 hardware supports for a specific format target. A format target is a resource type, an HLSL intrinsic function, or a particular functionality that is dependent on a particular format. If a section indicates that a format isn't supported for a format target, the format might not even be compatible with the format target.

You can use ID3D10Device::CheckFormatSupport to programmatically verify the info in this section.

Back buffers and scan outs with the DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_FLOAT format contain linear-valued gamma data.
