browser without gpu support
- by manuzhang
Google has an Easter egg that draws 3D graph but when I tried it out on chrome it complained about no WebGL support. I've also tested it on Firefox whose WebGL support was enabled but ended up with the same problem. Thus, I suspect it's an issue of my GPU. Some googling led me to chrome://gpu and here's what I got
Graphics Feature Status
Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
HTML Rendering: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
3D CSS: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable
WebGL: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable
WebGL multisampling: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable
