Remarks

Texture format support varies depending on driver, hardware, and usage flags. In general, you should use SDL_GPUTextureSupportsFormat to query if a format is supported before using it. However, there are a few guaranteed formats.

For DEPTH_STENCIL_TARGET usage, the following formats are universally supported:

Unless D16_UNORM is sufficient for your purposes, always check which of D24/D32 is supported before creating a depth-stencil texture!

(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)
