Customization Options

One of the most important aspects of Nvidia

®

Optimus

technology is that it will

switch between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU seemlessly and automatically,
and does not require any input from the user. However customization options are of-
fered for users who prefer to set their own parameters for GPU usage.

Context Menu

One of the quickest ways to choose which GPU to use for a particular application is
by using the “Run with graphics processor” in the context menu.

1.

Run the NVIDIA Control Panel (see page

).

2.

Click View from the top menu and select “Add “Run with graphics processor”
to Context Menu
(it should have a tick alongside it).
