# resolveTexture

The destination texture used when resolving multisampled texture data into single sample values.

```
var resolveTexture: (any MTLTexture)? { get set }
```

## Discussion

If the [`storeAction`](/documentation/Metal/MTLRenderPassAttachmentDescriptor/storeAction) value is set to [`MTLStoreAction.multisampleResolve`](/documentation/Metal/MTLStoreAction/multisampleResolve) or [`MTLStoreAction.storeAndMultisampleResolve`](/documentation/Metal/MTLStoreAction/storeAndMultisampleResolve), then the [`resolveTexture`](/documentation/Metal/MTLRenderPassAttachmentDescriptor/resolveTexture) value needs to point to a valid texture. Otherwise, Metal ignores this property.
