Test Your Device with Volume Shader BM

Volume Shader BM is the viral GPU benchmark test that's taken the internet by storm. Originally created to demonstrate trigonometric shader rendering, it has become the go-to test for comparing smartphone and PC graphics performance.

Whether you're testing your new phone, comparing devices with friends, or just curious about your GPU's capabilities, Volume Shader BM provides an instant, visual way to see how your hardware handles complex real-time 3D rendering.

What is Volume Shader BM?

Volume Shader BM is a WebGL-based GPU stress test that renders a Mandelbulb fractal - a complex 3D mathematical structure - using ray marching techniques. The shader performs thousands of calculations per pixel, per frame, making it an excellent benchmark for GPU performance.

Ray Marching

Advanced rendering technique that traces rays through 3D space to create the fractal visualization.

Mandelbulb Fractal

A 3D analog of the famous Mandelbrot set, creating the intricate, colorful structure you see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Volume Shader BM is a GPU benchmark test that renders a complex 3D Mandelbulb fractal using WebGL. It tests your device's graphics processing capabilities by performing intensive shader calculations in real-time.
The shader is very GPU-intensive. Low-end or older devices may struggle to render it smoothly. Try using the "Simple" complexity level for better performance, or test on a more powerful device.
On Standard complexity: 60+ FPS is excellent, 30-59 FPS is good, 15-29 FPS is acceptable, and below 15 FPS indicates your device is struggling. Higher complexity levels will naturally produce lower FPS.
Yes! Volume Shader BM works on both Android and iOS devices. It supports touch controls for rotating, panning, and zooming. It's one of the most popular ways to compare phone GPU performance.
Simple uses fewer shader iterations for lower GPU load. Standard is the original benchmark level. Advanced increases iterations for more detail. Extreme pushes your GPU to maximum with the highest iteration counts.
No, the Volume Shader BM test cannot damage your device. Modern devices have thermal throttling to prevent overheating. However, running it for extended periods may drain battery faster and warm up your device.
BM stands for "Benchmark" - it's a shortened version that became popular as the test went viral on social media for comparing device performance.
Unlike synthetic benchmarks, Volume Shader BM provides an instant, visual stress test that runs directly in your browser. It's particularly useful for quick comparisons and testing real-world GPU shader performance.
