# GraphicsDeviceType

> Graphics device API type.

## Definition

* **Type:** Enum
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Rendering](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/rendering.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public enum GraphicsDeviceType
```

## Remarks

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 Vulkan or OpenGL ES 3, you can use [SystemInfo.graphicsDeviceType](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/systeminfo/graphicsdevicetype.md) to check for that.
