Hardware Support for Direct3D 11 Formats
This section specifies the formats (DXGI_FORMAT values) that are supported in Direct3D 11 hardware, which means that a Direct3D 11–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 11 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 ID3D11Device::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.

Example: Format target support for DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_TYPELESS
Direct3D 11 hardware supports the DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_TYPELESS value for these format targets. This means that the hardware implements hardware acceleration for DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_TYPELESS with these format targets:
- Several resource types: Texture1D, Texture2D, Texture3D, TextureCube
- A mipmap resource
- CPU mapping of the format
- A resource whose data can be cast between types without changing the bit layout
