What the boards show
Volume Shader BM publishes public rankings of GPUs and phones by average FPS from real anonymous benchmark runs. Web boards use browser scores. Android and iOS boards use scores from the native apps. Each board stays on one platform so you compare matching results.
Browse the GPU and phone FPS leaderboards to pick a web, Android, or iOS board. Rankings update as new shared scores arrive. Boards with more samples are usually more stable than brand-new rows with few runs.
One run vs a ranking
A single run shows live FPS on your device right now. That reading helps you personally. It does not place a named profile on a public board by itself.
Boards use many anonymous finished scores. If anonymous sharing is on, a completed run can contribute to those averages over time. You can turn sharing off on the web test page or in app settings if you want the score to stay local only.
- Live FPS on the runner is your instant result
- Leaderboards aggregate many anonymous samples
- Sharing is optional
- More samples make averages more stable
How to compare devices fairly
Compare the same board type. A web GPU list is not the same pool as an Android phone list. Browser choice, heat, and power mode still matter for your own runs when you judge a personal score against a board average.
Use boards to see relative standing across hardware classes, not as a single absolute grade. For FPS meaning and fair personal compares, read how to interpret FPS and compare devices.
Web, Android, and iOS boards
Web boards cover graphics chips seen in the browser test. Android boards cover GPUs and phones from the Play app. iOS boards cover Apple devices from the App Store app.
Pick the board that matches how you tested. Mixing platforms confuses the compare. A strong phone on Android does not automatically map to a web GPU row, and the reverse is also true.
What can move a ranking
New samples change averages. Drivers, browser updates, and seasonal traffic can shift which chips appear most often. A device near the middle of a busy board may move a little from week to week without any hardware change on your side.
Treat the boards as a living reference. Recheck when you care about a purchase or a seller claim, and still run your own device under fair conditions.
Privacy and sharing
Anonymous sharing sends a finished score without an account login for ads or tracking use. Details live in the privacy policy on the site. If you prefer a private reading only, turn sharing off once you understand the toggle on the runner.
Practical way to use the boards
Run your device first so you have a personal number. Open the matching board next. Find similar GPUs or phones. Ask whether your score sits in a normal band for that class after you controlled heat and power mode.
If you are shopping, use the board as a tie-breaker between two close models, not as the only reason to buy. If you are checking a used phone, pair the board view with a fair local run and the safety guide’s notes on fakes.
Run a test that can feed the boards
Want to check this device and optionally help the rankings? Run Volume Shader BM in your browser with anonymous sharing left on, or use the Android or iOS app the same way. Then open the rankings hub to see where similar hardware sits.
