Not using graphic card while rendering (or viewing).

Posted · Not using graphic card while rendering (or viewing).

I've a Lenovo notebook with intel hd3000 graphics and Nvidia gm940 external graphic card.

Also Win10 x64 installed.

While slicing a model and viewing as posprint, I realized that it lags so much.

Than I've looked up to the performance section of task manager and I saw that intel graphics is used %100 but Nvidia %0.

How can I determine the program to use real GPU?

    The slicing is never done on the GPU. Parts of the rendering are done in the GPU, but certain things (such as sending the right information to the GPU) must be handled by the CPU.
