The requestAdapterInfo() method of the {{domxref("GPUAdapter")}} interface returns a {{jsxref("Promise")}} that fulfills with a {{domxref("GPUAdapterInfo")}} object containing identifying information about an adapter.

requestAdapterInfo() has been removed from the WebGPU specification. Use {{domxref("GPUAdapter.info")}} to access adapter information instead.

Return value

A {{jsxref("Promise")}} that fulfills with a {{domxref("GPUAdapterInfo")}} object instance.

  }

  const adapterInfo = await adapter.requestAdapterInfo();
  console.log(adapterInfo.vendor);
  console.log(adapterInfo.architecture);
