GPU Test
Detect your graphics card information using WebGL.
About GPU Detection
This test uses WebGL to detect your graphics card information. The information shown depends on your browser's privacy settings and may be limited.
- Some browsers mask GPU information for privacy
- Integrated GPUs may show as the CPU manufacturer
- For detailed GPU testing, use dedicated benchmarking software
How to Use This Test
- Wait for the page to load -- your GPU vendor and renderer information will be detected automatically via WebGL.
- Review the GPU Vendor and GPU Renderer fields to confirm your graphics card is recognized correctly.
- Check the WebGL support status to verify your browser can run hardware-accelerated 3D graphics.
What This Test Checks
This GPU detection test queries the WebGL API to retrieve hardware information about your graphics card directly from the browser.
- GPU vendor identification (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple, etc.)
- GPU renderer name showing the specific graphics card model
- WebGL support status confirming hardware-accelerated rendering capability
- Whether your browser exposes or masks GPU information for privacy
Troubleshooting
If you're having issues detecting your GPU:
- Try using Google Chrome, which typically provides the most detailed GPU information via WebGL.
- Check that hardware acceleration is enabled in your browser settings.
- If the GPU shows as "Masked," your browser's privacy settings are hiding the details -- check your browser flags or extensions.
- Update your GPU drivers to ensure full WebGL compatibility and accurate detection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my GPU show as 'Masked' or 'Unknown'?
Some browsers hide GPU details for privacy and fingerprinting protection. Firefox, Brave, and Safari may mask WebGL renderer info by default. You can check your browser's privacy settings or try using Chrome for the most detailed GPU information.
Does this test show my dedicated or integrated GPU?
This test shows whichever GPU your browser is currently using for rendering. On laptops with switchable graphics, the browser may use the integrated GPU to save power. You can force the dedicated GPU through your system's graphics settings or GPU control panel.
Can this test benchmark my GPU performance?
This test identifies your GPU model and verifies WebGL support, but it does not run a performance benchmark. For detailed GPU performance testing, use dedicated tools like 3DMark, FurMark, or Unigine Heaven.
What does WebGL support mean for my browser?
WebGL (Web Graphics Library) enables hardware-accelerated 3D graphics in your browser without plugins. If WebGL is supported, your browser can run 3D games, visualizations, and interactive graphics. Most modern browsers support WebGL by default.
