The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for testing the compatibility of a 3D engine. The method includes: acquiring a hardware capability parameter of a graphics card to be simulated, the hardware capability parameter recording a capability supported by the graphics card; running a predetermined 3D engine according to the hardware capability parameter; and determining, according to a result of running the 3D engine, whether the 3D engine is compatible with the graphics card to be simulated. The present disclosure solves the technical problem that a hardware testing environment needs to be repeatedly built to test the compatibility of the 3D engine on different graphics cards, thereby achieving technical effects of simulating different virtual graphics cards to implement testing in a hardware testing environment built once, and shortening a testing period.
