# D3D12_COMMAND_QUEUE_DESC

> Describes a command queue.

Describes a command queue.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
typedef struct D3D12_COMMAND_QUEUE_DESC
{
    D3D12_COMMAND_LIST_TYPE Type;
    INT Priority;
    D3D12_COMMAND_QUEUE_FLAGS Flags;
    UINT NodeMask;
} D3D12_COMMAND_QUEUE_DESC
```

### Members

*Type*\
Type: D3D12\_COMMAND\_LIST\_TYPE

Specifies one member of [D3D12\_COMMAND\_LIST\_TYPE](/reference/graphics/d3d12_x/enums/d3d12_command_list_type).

*Priority*\
Type: INT

The priority for the command queue, as a
[D3D12\_COMMAND\_QUEUE\_PRIORITY](/reference/graphics/d3d12/enums/d3d12_command_queue_priority_public) enumeration constant to select normal or high priority.

*Flags*\
Type: D3D12\_COMMAND\_QUEUE\_FLAGS

Specifies any flags from the [D3D12\_COMMAND\_QUEUE\_FLAGS](/reference/graphics/d3d12_x/enums/d3d12_command_queue_flags) enumeration.

*NodeMask*\
Type: UINT

For single GPU operation, set this to zero. If there are multiple GPU nodes, set a bit to identify the node (the  device's physical adapter) to which the command queue applies.
Each bit in the mask corresponds to a single node.
Only 1 bit must be set.
Refer to [Multi-adapter systems](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d12/multi-engine).
