# isDepth24Stencil8PixelFormatSupported

A Boolean value that indicates whether a device supports a packed depth-and-stencil pixel format.

```
var isDepth24Stencil8PixelFormatSupported: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

If the value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the device supports the [`MTLPixelFormat.depth24Unorm_stencil8`](/documentation/Metal/MTLPixelFormat/depth24Unorm_stencil8) pixel format.
