static var graphicsShaderLevel : int

Description

Graphics device shader capability level (Read Only).

This is approximate "shader capability" level of the graphics device, expressed in DirectX shader model terms. Possible values are:

50	Shader Model 5.0 (DX11.0)
41	Shader Model 4.1 (DX10.1)
40	Shader Model 4.0 (DX10.0)
30	Shader Model 3.0
20	Shader Model 2.x
10	Shader Model 1.x
7	Fixed function, roughly DirectX 7 features (cubemaps, dot3)
6	Fixed function, roughly DirectX 6 features (basic multitexture)
5	Fixed function, roughly DirectX 5 features
