public static GraphicsFormat GetCompatibleFormat(GraphicsFormat format, GraphicsFormatUsage usage)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[GraphicsFormat]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/experimental/rendering/graphicsformat)): **** (\[GraphicsFormatUsage]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/experimental/rendering/graphicsformatusage)): 

### Returns

| Type                                                                                                   | Description |
