Want to optimize your system's graphics performance? Enabling hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling can help reduce CPU workload, making graphics-intensive applications run more smoothly. Here's how to enable or disable it in Windows 10.
What is Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling?
Normally, your CPU manages and assigns graphical tasks to your GPU to ensure smooth performance in games, media playback, and editing software. With hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling enabled, the GPU itself takes over scheduling high-priority tasks, allowing the CPU to process additional workloads more efficiently.
Steps to Enable or Disable GPU Scheduling
- Right-click the Start menu and select Settings, or press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
- Click System in the sidebar.
- Select Display in the main pane.
- Scroll down to the Multiple Displays section and click Graphics settings.
- Toggle the switch for Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to enable or disable it.
- Restart your computer to apply the changes.
Enabling this feature may enhance performance in certain applications, while disabling it could help resolve compatibility issues.
