Description

Graphics device API type.

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 to check for that.

Additional resources: SystemInfo.graphicsDeviceType.
