detect-gpu

What is detect-gpu?

The detect-gpu npm package is designed to detect the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) of the user's device. It provides information about the GPU model, vendor, and performance tier, which can be useful for optimizing graphics-intensive applications.

What are detect-gpu's main functionalities?

Detect GPU Information

This feature allows you to detect the GPU information of the user's device. The `getGPUTier` function returns an object containing the GPU model, vendor, and performance tier.

const { getGPUTier } = require('detect-gpu');

(async () => {
  const gpuTier = await getGPUTier();
  console.log(gpuTier);
})();

Asynchronous GPU Detection

This feature allows you to perform GPU detection asynchronously with custom tier settings for mobile and desktop devices. The `getGPUTier` function can be customized to return different performance tiers based on the device type.

const { getGPUTier } = require('detect-gpu');

(async () => {
  const gpuTier = await getGPUTier({ mobileTiers: [0, 1, 2, 3], desktopTiers: [0, 1, 2, 3] });
  console.log(gpuTier);
})();

Other packages similar to detect-gpu

gpu.js

gpu.js is a JavaScript library for GPU-accelerated computing in the browser. It allows you to run complex computations on the GPU, which can significantly speed up performance for certain tasks. Unlike detect-gpu, which focuses on detecting GPU information, gpu.js is designed for leveraging the GPU for computational tasks.

webgl-detect

webgl-detect is a package that helps in detecting WebGL capabilities of the user's browser. It provides information about the WebGL version, supported extensions, and renderer details. While detect-gpu focuses on GPU detection, webgl-detect is more about understanding the WebGL capabilities of the browser.
