Device with the corresponding LUID not found

Error message

Device with the corresponding LUID not found

What it means

Thrown by D3DMemoryHelper.GetAdapterByLuid (ArgumentException) when no DXGI adapter enumerated via IDXGIFactory1.EnumAdapters has an AdapterLuid matching the supplied Vulkan device LUID. The Vulkan/D3D11 interop requires both APIs to reference the same physical GPU, identified by LUID.

Solutions

1. Force Vulkan and D3D11 onto the same physical GPU (e.g. select the Vulkan device whose LUID matches a known D3D adapter).
2. Use VkPhysicalDeviceIDProperties (deviceLUID) to obtain the exact LUID to compare against DXGI AdapterDesc.AdapterLuid.
3. On multi-GPU systems, prefer the discrete adapter in both APIs or disable one GPU for testing.
4. Update GPU drivers so LUIDs are reported consistently across APIs.

Example fix

// before
var adapter = GetAdapterByLuid(factory, vulkanLuid); // no match -> throws

// after
// pick the Vulkan physical device whose deviceLUID matches a DXGI adapter first
var dxgiLuid = PickMatchingDxgiLuid(factory, vkDeviceLuid);
var adapter = GetAdapterByLuid(factory, dxgiLuid);

Luid? findMatchingLuid(ComPtr<IDXGIFactory1> factory, Luid vkLuid) {
  uint i = 0; ComPtr<IDXGIAdapter> a = default;
  while (factory.EnumAdapters(i, a.GetAddressOf()) != DxgiErrorNotFound) {
    AdapterDesc d; if (a.GetDesc(&d) == 0 && AreLuidsEqual(d.AdapterLuid, vkLuid)) return d.AdapterLuid;
    a.Dispose(); ++i;
  }
  return null;
}
if (findMatchingLuid(factory, vkLuid) is null) { /* select a different Vulkan device */ }

static bool LuidMatchesAnyAdapter(ComPtr<IDXGIFactory1> factory, Luid luid) {
  uint i = 0; ComPtr<IDXGIAdapter> a = default;
  while (factory.EnumAdapters(i, a.GetAddressOf()) != DxgiErrorNotFound) {
    AdapterDesc d; if (a.GetDesc(&d) == 0 && AreLuidsEqual(d.AdapterLuid, luid)) return true;
    a.Dispose(); ++i;
  }
  return false;
}

try { return GetAdapterByLuid(factory, luid); }
catch (ArgumentException ex) when (ex.Message.Contains("LUID")) { /* pick the Vulkan device whose LUID matches a DXGI adapter, then retry */ throw; }

When it happens

Trigger: Enumerating DXGI adapters after acquiring a VkPhysicalDevice, where the Vulkan device's LUID does not match any D3D11 adapter. Common on multi-GPU systems where Vulkan picked one GPU (e.g. discrete) but DXGI enumeration/selection finds only another, or the LUID comparison is mismatched.

Common situations: Multi-GPU laptops (integrated + discrete) where Vulkan and D3D land on different GPUs; driver LUID reporting discrepancies; Vulkan device with no valid deviceLUID extension; the wrong factory/adapter enumeration path.
