Volume Shader BM

Frequently looked up

Q1What is Volume Shader BM?

Volume Shader BM is a free browser GPU benchmark that renders a ray-marched 3D fractal through WebGL2 or WebGPU. It reports average, minimum, and maximum FPS, frame time, duration, and a derived stability score. It does not read temperature, power draw, or system-wide GPU utilization.

Q2Does Volume Shader run on CPU or GPU?

Volume Shader runs exclusively on your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), not on the CPU. The benchmark uses WebGL fragment shaders that execute directly on the graphics card's parallel processing cores, allowing the tool to perform complex ray marching calculations for volumetric rendering at real-time speeds.

Q3What performance data does it provide?

Volume Shader measures average, minimum, and maximum FPS, frame time, test duration, and a derived stability score. It does not measure GPU utilization, temperature, or power draw.

Q4Can I compare my results with others?

Yes. Volume Shader BM provides public result pages and live GPU benchmark rankings. You can compare results by preset, device type, GPU model, browser, and rendering API. For fair comparison, use the same preset and check whether a result is leaderboard-eligible or based on enough verified samples.

Q5What browsers are supported?

Volume Shader works in modern browsers that support WebGL2, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. WebGPU is used when the browser, OS, driver, and adapter support it; otherwise the benchmark uses the WebGL2 path and labels the API so results can be compared fairly.
