For decades, validating a GPU meant downloading gigabytes of software—MSI Kombustor, FurMark, 3DMark—installing obscure drivers, and risking system instability. Today, the validation paradigm has shifted. With WebGPU 2.0, the browser is no longer just a document viewer; it is a high-performance compute environment capable of stressing silicon to its absolute limit.
1. Why "Install-Free" Diagnostics?
The primary advantage of browser-based testing is safety. Traditional stress tools operate with kernel-level privileges. If they crash, they can take your entire OS with them, potentially corrupting file systems. GearVerify operates within a hardened browser sandbox. If a stress test fails due to hardware instability, only the tab crashes—your OS remains safe.
Furthermore, this approach eliminates " bloatware." You don't need to register an account, install a launcher, or update a 5GB asset pack just to test if your overclock is stable.
2. Stressing the Shader Pipeline
Our "Antigravity" engine uses compute shaders to saturate the ALUs (Arithmetic Logic Units) of your GPU. This generates heat much faster than a standard gaming workload. By monitoring the FPS graph during a 10-minute loop, you can visually identify thermal degradation.
3. Monitoring VRAM Integrity
Graphics memory is often the first component to fail on used cards. While core logic errors cause crashes, VRAM errors cause visual corruption. GearVerify fills the VRAM buffer with high-resolution texture data and rapidly cycles read/write operations. By watching the VRAM usage monitor, you can verify if the card is properly allocating its full memory capacity.
4. The Future is Local
As WebGPU matures, the need for desktop benchmark applications will vanish. The ability to instantly validate hardware on any machine—whether it's a Linux workstation, a Windows gaming rig, or a MacBook Pro—without installation barriers is the future of hardware diagnostics.
