What GPU does my browser see?
See the GPU your browser reports through WebGL, your graphics hardware as sites see it. Detected live and privately, nothing uploaded.
The graphics processor your browser reports is shown above. Browsers do not expose your GPU directly, so we read it from the WebGL renderer string, which is the closest thing to a hardware name that a web page can see. It typically identifies your integrated or discrete graphics chip and sometimes the driver.
This is a browser-level view, so it may be less specific than what your operating system's device manager shows. Some browsers deliberately generalise the value, reporting a category (like a generic vendor) rather than the exact model, to reduce fingerprinting.
If you want the definitive answer for troubleshooting or gaming, check your operating system's display or device settings. What this page shows is precisely what websites can learn about your graphics hardware, which is the more interesting question for privacy.
What you should know
Why sites collect it
Graphics-heavy sites read the GPU to enable or disable effects, pick shader quality, and dodge known driver bugs. Analytics may record it to understand the hardware their audience runs.
Privacy implications
Because a specific GPU model is far less common than a browser name, it is a strong fingerprinting signal, the same concern as the WebGL renderer it comes from. Reporting a unique GPU makes your device stand out; a masked or generic value helps you blend in.
How to change or hide it
Use a privacy browser that generalises or blocks the WebGL renderer to limit GPU exposure. For accurate hardware details for your own use, rely on your operating system rather than the browser, which intentionally sees less.
Frequently asked questions
Is this my exact graphics card model?
Often, but not always. The browser reads it from WebGL and may generalise it. For the definitive model, check your operating system's device settings.
Why does my GPU matter for privacy?
A specific GPU is uncommon compared with a browser name, so it strongly narrows your device in a fingerprint. That is why privacy browsers mask it.
