What GPU Does Your Device Have?
This tool uses WebGL's WEBGL_debug_renderer_info extension to detect your GPU vendor and renderer. See your graphics card information instantly without any downloads.
This tool creates a WebGL context and queries the WEBGL_debug_renderer_info extension to read your GPU vendor and unmasked renderer string.
Some browsers mask GPU info for privacy — Chrome shows the real GPU, while Firefox may show 'Google SwiftShader' or a generic string.
What Do Your Results Mean?
| Result | Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Detected | GPU vendor and renderer name shown | Your browser exposes the full GPU renderer string. You can identify whether you have integrated (Intel UHD, AMD Radeon Vega) or dedicated (NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon RX) graphics. |
| Limited | Shows 'Google SwiftShader' or generic name | Your browser is masking the real GPU for privacy or using software rendering. Enable hardware acceleration in browser settings. |
| Not Supported | WebGL context unavailable | WebGL is disabled or your GPU driver is incompatible. Update your graphics driver and enable hardware acceleration. |
Common Issues and How to Fix Them
GPU shows as 'Google SwiftShader'
This means the browser is using software rendering. Go to browser settings, enable 'Use hardware acceleration when available,' then restart the browser.
WebGL context creation fails
Update your GPU driver to the latest version from the manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel). If on a VM, note that many virtual machines do not support WebGL.
