Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The GPUAdapter interface of the WebGPU API represents a GPU adapter. From this you can request a GPUDevice, adapter info, features, and limits.
A GPUAdapter object is requested using the GPU.requestAdapter() method.
features Experimental Read only
A GPUSupportedFeatures object that describes additional functionality supported by the adapter.
isFallbackAdapter Experimental Read only
A boolean value. Returns true if the adapter is a fallback adapter, and false if not.
limits Experimental Read only
A GPUSupportedLimits object that describes the limits supported by the adapter.
requestAdapterInfo() Experimental
Returns a Promise that fulfills with a GPUAdapterInfo object containing identifying information about an adapter.
requestDevice() Experimental
Returns a Promise that fulfills with a GPUDevice object, which is the primary interface for communicating with the GPU.
