GPU Utilization

Check your GPU

Ensuring optimal GPU utilization is a key aspect of performance when using our Digital Reality 3D web application. Depending on the complexity of 3D data and the level of graphics rendering required, the load on a GPU can vary significantly. Monitoring GPU usage can provide relevant insight into potential bottlenecks affecting the application's performance.

Monitoring GPU usage is particularly useful when troubleshooting performance issues with graphics-intensive applications.Different operating systems offer various methods and built-in tools for checking the GPU usage. Here are some links with useful information:

Check power managememnt mode for your PC

'Power Saver' mode significantly limits the laptop's CPU and GPU performance to save power. This can result in lower frame rates, increased input lag, and a less responsive experience. To avoid any potential performance issues, it is recommneded to adjust power mode to 'Normal' or 'High Performance'

Use external GPU

To ensure that your computer is utilizing the external GPU, confirm that the dedicated GPU is selected in the BIOS settings.

Access BIOS Settings:

The procedure to access BIOS settings depends on the computer's manufacturer. Generally, you restart your computer and repeatedly press a key (usually F2, F12, DEL, ESC) at the startup. Look up how to access BIOS for your particular model if you're unsure.

Switch to Dedicated GPU:

Once you're in the BIOS, look for an option that belongs to the GPU. This is usually under "Advanced," "Chipset Settings," "Graphics Settings," or a similar heading. Find a setting that says "Graphic Device," "Graphic Mode" or something similar.

Change this setting from "Integrated" to "PCI/PCIe" or from "Auto" to "Enable," or a similar setting depending on your BIOS version and computer make/model. Changing this setting means the computer will favor the external GPU over the integrated one.

Save and Restart

Finally, save the BIOS settings and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
