# RenderingThreadingMode

> Options for the application's actual rendering threading mode.

## Definition

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

```csharp
public enum RenderingThreadingMode
```

## Remarks

The combination of Player Settings [PlayerSettings.MTRendering](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/playersettings/mtrendering.md), [PlayerSettings.graphicsJobs](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/playersettings/graphicsjobs.md) and [PlayerSettings.graphicsJobMode](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/playersettings/graphicsjobmode.md), as well as the target platform capabilities decides the rendering threading mode during the start of the Unity Editor or Standalone. After startup, you can use the property [SystemInfo.renderingThreadingMode](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/systeminfo/renderingthreadingmode.md) to query the rendering threading mode.

To specify whether graphics jobs threading mode is allowed in the Editor, use the **Allow Graphics Jobs in Editor** checkbox in the Jobs panel of the [Preferences Window](/engine/6000.7/manual/unity-editor/editor-settings-reference/preferences/jobs.md). Enabling this option lets Unity use the graphics jobs threading mode in the Editor when graphics jobs is enabled in Player Settings.
