### Remarks

Indirect arguments buffers are used for [Graphics.RenderPrimitivesIndirect](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/graphics/renderprimitivesindirect.md), [ComputeShader.DispatchIndirect](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/computeshader/dispatchindirect.md), [RayTracingShader.DispatchIndirect](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/raytracingshader/dispatchindirect.md) or [Graphics.RenderMeshIndirect](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/graphics/rendermeshindirect.md).

The buffer size must be a minimum of 12 bytes. The underlying DirectX 11 unordered access view format will be R32\_UINT, and shader resource view format will be R32 typeless.
