--- Comment #1 from Francisco Casas  ---
It would be nice to have the shader (or shaders) to be sure of what feature is
missing. VKD3D_SHADER_DUMP_PATH can be set to a directory within the system to
retrieve these.

However, I checked our code and I suspect that this might be triggered by an
unlowered separate SampleGrad() method, if the target profile is ps_3_0 or
lower.

If that is the case, it should be fixed by:
