<h1>Description</h1>

GfxMode3D returns True if the specified graphics mode is 3D-capable.
<br />
<br />
GfxMode3D is generally used after obtaining a list of available display modes from a user's system via CountGfxModes (). You apply this to each mode in turn (or a selected mode) to see if you can enter 3D mode. If this returns False, calling Graphics3D () with this mode's details will fail!
<br />
<br />
If you don't wish to perform this check, the only Graphics3D call you can make with a guarantee of working on 99% of 3D graphics cards is 'Graphics3D 640, 480'. However, see GfxModeExists' gfx3d parameter for another method of performing this check.
