Nothing will ever impress me more than this WebGL fire / explosion effect: http://glslsandbox.com/e#33550.0

Warning: may melt your GPU.

You're not wrong. That put a workstation-class GPU in a water-cooled system up about 20 degrees C within a few seconds. And it was still not fast enough to animate smoothly during the more demanding parts later in the sequence.

Awesome effect, though. :-)

It worked beautiful on my Intel HD 4000, though setting the "quality" to 1 or 0.5 did slow things down quite a bit.
Works surprisingly well on iOS actually! Not as good as desktop but the effect is impressive
This crashed my NVIDIA driver.
