Use a heavier Volume Shader BM preset to run a Chrome-friendly browser GPU stress test, observe sustained FPS, frame-time stability, API behavior, and signs of thermal throttling.
Higher presets increase shader complexity and render resolution. This pushes sustained browser GPU throughput more than a short, light compatibility check and is closer to the intent behind Chrome GPU stress test searches.
Look beyond peak FPS. Stable frame time, fewer drops, and repeated similar runs are stronger evidence than one high score captured during a cold start.
Modern devices throttle or protect themselves, but a browser stress test still competes with other apps and tabs. Close heavy workloads and keep laptops on appropriate power settings.
It should stay within normal browser graphics limits, but it can still heat the device. Stop if temperatures, fan noise, or responsiveness become a concern.
Start with Balanced. Use High only when the device is stable and you want a heavier browser shader workload.
