## FAQs
- [Frequently Asked Questions](https://volumeshader.dev/faq.md?utm_source=llms-txt) - Common questions about GPU testing (Markdown)
  - What is Volume Shader BM?
  - Does it run on CPU or GPU?
  - How to make it faster and eliminate lag?
  - Why does GPU get hot during benchmark?
  - Browser compatibility and accuracy

## Technical Information
- **Technology**: WebGL 1.0, Next.js 14, TypeScript
- **Rendering**: Ray marching Mandelbulb fractals
- **Metrics**: FPS, frame time, GPU detection
- **Platforms**: Desktop and mobile browsers
- **Privacy**: All tests run locally, no server-side GPU data storage

## Key Features
- Real-time 3D volume rendering with interactive controls
- Configurable performance presets (Ultra Low to Very High)
- CSV export and social media sharing
- No installation required - runs in browser

## Performance Optimization
- Start with Ultra Low preset for modest GPUs
- Reduce Kernel Iterations (2-4) for better FPS
- Lower Resolution Scale (0.25-0.75x) to reduce lag
- Close background applications
- Update GPU drivers
- Use Chrome/Edge for best performance

## Optional
- [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/volumeshader/volume-shader-clone?utm_source=llms-txt) - Source code
- [Technical Docs](https://volumeshader.dev/how-to-use#technical?utm_source=llms-txt) - WebGL implementation details
