Most modern laptop systems CPUs, and many desktop CPUs also, are configured with a graphics processing unit (GPU), built into the CPU a configuration often referred to as on-board or integrated graphics. These systems are intended to provide better graphics capabilities without the need for a dedicated GPU which can help preserve battery life on mobile systems. However, these onboard graphics typically offer much lower performance than a dedicated GPU. Since most applications can only use 1 GPU at a time, this means that on systems with both onboard graphics and dedicated GPUs the system must choose which GPU to use when launching applications. The windows default for laptop systems is usually to use the onboard GPU as these are more energy-efficient and provide longer battery life. However, for most use cases in arivis Pro that require 3D visualization the use of a dedicated GPU is preferable. Configuring your system to use one GPU over the other can be done in a variety of ways depending on your system.
