# GraphicsStateCollection.GraphicsState

> A graphics state identifies a specific rendering configuration.

## Definition

* **Type:** Struct
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Rendering](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/rendering.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public struct GraphicsStateCollection.GraphicsState
```

## Remarks

Modern graphics APIs (i.e. Metal, D3D12, Vulkan) use both the active shader variant and rendering configuration to create the accurate GPU representation of a shader.
