> can you make it detect the device somehow, maybe with some additional permissions, instead of user selecting from a dropdown?
Detecting CPU and GPU specs browser-side is almost impossible to do reliably (even if relying on advanced fingerprinting and certain heuristics).
For GPU’s, it may be possible to use (1) WebGL’s `WEBGL_debug_renderer_info` extension [0][0] or (2) WebGPU’s `GPUAdapter#info` [1][1], but I wouldn’t trust either of those API’s for general usage.
Jay you seem knowledgeable on this - thanks for answering - I have a question
I did look at auto-detecting before, but it seems like you can only really tell the features of a GPU, not so much the good info (VRAM amount and bus speed) - is that the case?
I looked at the GPUAdapter docs, and all it told me was:
- device maker (amd)
- architecture (rdna-3)
and that was it. Is there a way to poke for bus speed and vram amount?
