[CE 16] How is multiple gpu supported by Microstation

Hi,

Just want to find out if a system has 2 gpus, does Microstation have a say in which gpu it will use? Or is that decided by Windows?

For example, I have the Microstation window displayed in monitor 1 which is connected to gpu 1. Does that mean only GPU 1 is used to Microstation? I'm aware that Windows 10 allows for setting specific gpu used per app, but just want to understand if that means what I think it means. 

Best regards,

Tuan Le

  • Hi, GPU assignment is done by the Windows scheduler and - as you said - you can let it decide which GPU is better for an app or manually assign an app to the low-power vs high performance option. The GPU used by an application is not necessarily the one that is driving the display as one GPU - especially the CPU integrated one - can work as a "pass-through" while the other one does computation. 

    If you have two discrete GPUs in a desktop, I would attach the video cable to the one that you also want to use with MicroStation.
