[chimerax-users] windows 10 GPU acceleration?

[Sindelar, Charles]

Dear Tom, Elain, Eric et al, happy new year to you and I hope all is well.

I was wondering how much GPU acceleration I can hope for with my new Dell XPS 17, for either ChimeraX or Chimera? Right now I am noticing that when I use the programs, all the graphics load goes to my integrated Intel graphics GPU, and frame rates are not impressive. The Nvidia 2080, which should be awesome, sits idling. This is on Windows 10. I tried setting the Windows "Graphics Settings" control panel for "high performance", which should try to make Chimera(X) use the NVidia, as far as I know, but nothing happens.

Thanks and cheers! - Chuck
