What is the reason and how can i show my graphic card name.

    Try use Microsoft Edge and see if the problem persist?
    You will have to check with your device's manufacturer support to check what causing this behavior.
    Also check if it makes any different if you enable or disable Hardware accelerator in the browser's setting.

    Hello Ersandemir,

    SwiftShader is a high-performance CPU-based implementation of the Vulkan graphics API. Its goal is to provide hardware independence for advanced 3D graphics. In this case the browser has limited access to the hardware details but reports on the version of the graphics API running over it on a software level. It is not uncommon to show as Vulkan, WebGL, OpenGL, etcetera.

    For more information or how to display the correct data, you should contact the manufacturer of that software/website as it is a 3rd Party to Microsoft software.
