About GPU Information Viewer
Our GPU Information Viewer helps you detect and display detailed information about your graphics card (GPU) using WebGL technology. View your GPU vendor, renderer, WebGL capabilities, texture limits, color depth, and supported extensions all in one place.
How to Use the GPU Information Viewer
- Open the tool in your web browser
- The tool automatically detects your GPU information
- View detailed specs including vendor, renderer, and capabilities
- Check supported WebGL extensions
- Click "Copy All" to copy all information to clipboard
- Use "Refresh" to re-detect GPU information
Features
- GPU Vendor & Renderer: Identify your graphics card manufacturer and model
- WebGL Version: Check WebGL and shading language versions
- Texture Capabilities: View maximum texture sizes and units
- Color Depth Information: Check red, green, blue, alpha, depth, and stencil bits
- Extension Support: See all supported WebGL extensions
- Copy to Clipboard: Easily copy individual values or all information
- Privacy-Focused: All detection happens locally in your browser
- Real-Time Detection: Instant GPU information display
What Information is Displayed?
- Graphics Card: Vendor name (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, etc.) and renderer model
- WebGL Information: WebGL version and GLSL shading language version
- Capabilities: Maximum texture size, texture units, cube map size, renderbuffer size, vertex attributes, and viewport dimensions
- Color & Depth: Red, green, blue, alpha, depth, and stencil bits, plus antialiasing support
- WebGL Extensions: Complete list of supported and unsupported extensions
Common Use Cases
- Web Development: Check WebGL capabilities for browser compatibility testing
- Game Development: Verify graphics capabilities for WebGL games
- 3D Graphics: Check texture limits and rendering capabilities
- Technical Support: Gather GPU information for troubleshooting
- System Information: Identify your graphics card model
- Browser Testing: Compare WebGL support across different browsers
- Performance Analysis: Understand GPU limitations
Understanding WebGL Extensions
WebGL extensions provide additional features beyond the core WebGL specification. Common extensions include:
- WEBGL_compressed_texture formats: Support for compressed texture formats
- OES_texture_float: Floating-point texture support
- WEBGL_depth_texture: Depth texture support for shadow mapping
- OES_standard_derivatives: Shader derivative functions
- ANGLE_instanced_arrays: Instanced rendering support
Privacy & Security
- All GPU detection happens locally in your browser using WebGL
- No data is sent to any server or third party
- Some browsers may mask vendor/renderer information for privacy protection
- The tool only accesses publicly available WebGL information
- No personal information is collected or stored
Browser Compatibility
This tool works in all modern browsers that support WebGL, including:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
- Safari
- Opera
Troubleshooting
GPU information not detected?
- Ensure WebGL is enabled in your browser settings
- Update your graphics drivers to the latest version
- Try a different browser
- Check if hardware acceleration is enabled
Vendor/Renderer shows generic information?
Some browsers mask GPU information for privacy. This is normal behavior in privacy-focused browsers or private browsing modes.
Extensions list is empty?
Ensure WebGL is properly initialized. Try refreshing the page or updating your browser.
Technical Details
- Detection Method: Uses WebGL context and WEBGL_debug_renderer_info extension
- Texture Limits: Queries MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE and related parameters
- Color Depth: Reads from WebGL context attributes
- Extensions: Enumerates all available WebGL extensions
