WebGL Core Audit • 0 FPS
The Definitive Guide to GPU Benchmarking and FPS Stress Testing
Have you ever played a video game and noticed that it feels "slow" or "choppy"? That feeling is usually caused by low FPS. FPS stands for Frames Per Second. It is a measure of how hard your computer's GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is working to draw pictures on your screen. At Hardware Tester, our GPU Benchmark tool is designed to push your computer to its limits to see exactly what it can handle.
Our mission is to bring professional-grade stress testing to your web browser. You don't need to download big, heavy software to see if your new laptop is powerful. Our WebGL Core Audit uses thousands of tiny moving particles to create a digital workout for your computer. It's like a treadmill for your graphics card!
What is "GPU Benchmarking"?
A benchmark is a test that gives your computer a score. In our case, the score is your maximum FPS. If your computer can draw 60 or 120 frames every second while moving thousands of particles, it means you have a very powerful machine! GPU Benchmarking helps you understand if your computer is ready for big games, video editing, or heavy design work. Our tool uses WebGL, which is the standard for 3D graphics on the internet.
What is a "Stress Test"?
A stress test is different from a normal benchmark. It doesn't just check the speed; it checks if the computer can stay stable when it is working very hard. By choosing the "Ultra" setting in our tool, you are throwing 20,000 particles at your GPU! This helps you see if your computer gets too hot or if it starts to slow down after a few minutes of hard work.
GPU Benchmark Updates (v6.0.0)
Update: Jan 2026 (v6.0.41)
Added support for professional GPU name detection. Optimized the particle engine to use 50% less CPU, focusing all power on the graphics card. New "Ultra" mode for the latest RTX and Radeon hardware.
Update: Oct 2025 (v5.5.0)
Improved frame-timing accuracy. Now the tool detects if your browser is "capping" the FPS unnecessarily. Added a fullscreen mode for more immersive stress testing.
Features of the GPU Benchmark
Live Particle System
Watch as thousands of digital dots fly around your screen. This creates a realistic workload for your GPU, similar to a 3D game.
Load Presets
Switch between Low, Medium, and Ultra loads with one click. Test everything from a small tablet to a high-end gaming PC.
Hardware Identity
Our tool tries to detect exactly which graphics card you are using. This helps you share your results and compare with friends!
How to Test Your Graphics Power
Follow these easy steps to see how strong your computer is:
- Close Other Tabs: For the best results, make sure you aren't watching videos or playing other games in the background.
- Start with "Low": See how many FPS you get. Most computers should hit 60 FPS easily on Low.
- Switch to "Ultra": This is the real test! Watch your FPS counter. If it stays above 30, your computer is very good for gaming.
- Enter Fullscreen: Click the expand button to let the GPU use your entire monitor. This is the most accurate way to test.
Fun Fact: The human eye can perceive differences in motion up to about 60-90 FPS, but professional gamers use 240Hz monitors to make the game feel even more "connected" to their hands!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this test hurt my computer?
No! Our tool only asks the GPU to do what it was designed for—drawing 3D graphics. If your computer gets too hot, it will simply slow down to protect itself. This is perfectly safe.
Why is my FPS stuck at 60?
Many monitors and browsers have "V-Sync" turned on. This locks the FPS to your monitor's speed (usually 60Hz) to prevent screen tearing. This means your computer is doing great!
What is a "good" FPS score?
60 FPS is the gold standard for smooth video. If you get 30 FPS, it's playable but might feel a bit slow. If you get 100 or more, you have a powerhouse machine!
