- GPU stands for Graphical Processing Unit.This Unit of the computer is responsible for optimal rendering of graphics items like images and animation on the screen.
- Traditional HTML and CSS used to be rendered by the CPU only.But In latest UI specifications like CSS3 there are some properties which can trigger the GPU to work.
- The major advantage of this technique is to make the CPU load less and getting smooth animations on the screen.
- Smoothness of the graphics can be measured by Frames at which it renders on the screen.This unit is also known as FPS(Frames per second).
- Google chrome provides a widget to check the FPS of the current page.
- This FPS Counter can be enabled using Chrome://Flags.Below screenshot shows the FPS counter enable link listed in the chrome flag lists.
- The FPS Counter looks like below screen shot.It is showing the current FPS with the range of minimum and maximum FPS for the current web page.
