milezee Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello Forum, my PC doesn't seem to be using the GPU at all when rendering, the task manager shows the CPU being maxed out, around 99% and the GPU usage is about 1%. Is there something we need to change on our PC's ?? tia Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Check the following document. Partially it tells how CPU and GPU are used in VW. On your Windows PC, check the NVidia settings to make extra sure your good GPU (NVidia) is used and not the one of your motherboard. Quote Link to comment
Nicolas Goutte Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 And here is the article of Jim Wilson on how to use the NVidia settings (sorry, I have not found at first) Quote Link to comment
milezee Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 @Nicolas Goutte thanks for the input. It seems Rendering in VW uses the CPU, and the GPU is fully used when rotating, panning, zooming etc, is this correct ?? Quote Link to comment

As far as I understand, Renderworks uses the CPU, while 2D and OpenGL use the GPU. 2 Quote Link to comment

Guest Paulo Ferrari Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 @milezee Hi, that is right. During Renderworks (Rendering) Vectorworks using only CPU to processing the Render. And GPU it's using to show the graphics on screen (Palletes, Windows and Menu) 2D Graphics, Wireframe, Design and Sheet Layer. Follow a table that explained exactly that Vectorworks using during the processing. Quote Link to comment
