What is a Direct3D Device?

A Microsoft® Direct3D® device is the rendering component of Direct3D. It encapsulates and stores the rendering state. In addition, a Direct3D device performs transformations and lighting operations and rasterizes an image to a surface. Architecturally, Direct3D devices contain a transformation module, a lighting module, and a rasterizing module, as the following illustration shows.
