Checking GPU Compatibility and Requirements
Users can check if their GPU meets the software requirements by following these steps:
- Open the system information tool: This can typically be accessed by right-clicking on the "This PC" icon in Windows Explorer and selecting "Properties."
- Locate the "Device Manager" option: This can be found under the "System" section of the system information tool.
- Expand the "Display Adapters" section: This will list all installed GPUs on your system.
- Identify the GPU model: The model name should be listed next to the device name.
- Verify compatibility with the supported GPU models: Compare the model name with the list of supported GPUs provided in this document.
Integrated GPU Support
The software does not officially support integrated GPUs. While some basic functionality might be possible with an integrated GPU, we recommend using a dedicated graphics card for a seamless and optimized experience.
Optimizing GPU Performance
For optimal GPU performance, users should ensure that the latest driver version is installed and that their system is configured for maximum performance. Refer to the Performance Optimization chapter for detailed instructions.
