Select High-performance NVIDIA processor in the drop-down menu under Select the preferred graphics processor for this program.Ĭlick Apply (might need to scroll down to see this button) and then close the NVIDIA Control Panel. Further, the Browse button within the Add window might be needed to manually select the program's executable (.exe) file. For example, if I want to access the 'Manage 3D Settings' it will sit there for well over 5 minutes (hard drive going crazy) in a 'Not Responding' state before it would finally load. Under Select, a program to customize, click the drop-down menu and select the specific Autodesk program, such as 'Autodesk 3ds Max.' If the program is not in the menu, deselect 'Show only programs found on this computer' to expand the list in the menu or click the Add button and choose the software there. The NVIDIA Control Panel is really slow when loading certain options. Click Manage 3D settings on the left and then click the Program Settings tab.Right-click the desktop and choose NVIDIA Control Panel.Right-click on the Autodesk software and choose Run with graphics processor > Change default graphics processor.Update to the latest video driver (see NVIDIA Downloads). Launch or restart the software (if it was running) and look within the program to confirm the high-performance device is enabled.
