# Benchmarks to compute 16,777,216 nonces _Each test is 128 samples of one pass (dispatch or frame) at zero difficulty with no early exit_ ## Summary - Chromium WebGPU and Firefox WebGL are the clear winners - Chromium WebGL seems to suffer from an Nvidia driver issue - Firefox WebGPU exhibits a strange implementation bottleneck - It seems to restricts each pass to a minimum of 200ms - Not shown here: This minimum is higher or lower depending on dispatch size - Safari WebGPU performance was maintained between versions - WebGL downsampling shader minimized readback lag and thus enabled much larger frames - WebGPU improved dramatically on non-mobile platforms, almost halving frame times - Maximum WebGL canvas size varies - Safari only supports up to 4096x4096 - Chromium supports up to 5760x5760 - Firefox supports up to a whopping 8192x8192 which actually makes it competitive with WebGPU ## All Results | Version | System | Browser | API | Total | Rate | Median | Mean | | ------- | ----------- | ---------- | ------ | -------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | | RC | RTX 3070 | Chromium N | WebGPU | 747 | 218.23 | 4.5 | 4.58 | | RC | RTX 3070 | Firefox N | WebGL | 1096 | 117.06 | 8.55 | 8.54 | | RC | RTX 3070 | Firefox | WebGL | 1174 | 116.57 | 9 | 8.58 | | 2.0.0 | RTX 3070 | Chromium N | WebGPU | 1339 | 112.02 | ?
