+### Enabling the D3D11 debug layer
+
+It's also possible to enable the [D3D11 debug layer](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d11/overviews-direct3d-11-devices-layers) and capture its output with tools like [DebugView](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview).
+
+To enable the debug layer one needs to
+  1. Enable the optional Windows feature "Graphics Tool" - for detailed instruction see above linke
+  2. Start vvvv.exe with `--debug-gpu` - tells vvvv to create a D3D11 debug device
+
+Note that when also enabling RenderDoc as well, DebugView no longer seems to be able to capture information.
