Description

Graphics device API type.

Many different low-level graphics APIs can be used by Unity. If for some reason you need to know whether Direct3D 9 or 11 is being used, or OpenGL ES 2 or 3, you can use SystemInfo.graphicsDeviceType to check for that.

See Also: SystemInfo.graphicsDeviceType.
