Double-click the value for OpenGL rendering GPU and select your Nvidia GPU chip. Open the dropdown and select your Nvidia GPU chip. Right-click an empty area on the desktop and select Nvidia Control Panel. If not, you can get it from the Microsoft Store.īy default, PhysX is set to the CPU or it’s set to Auto which means tasks that can be handed off to the GPU are not being handed off or the game is deciding when it needs to hand the tasks off instead of it being the default. If you have an Nvidia GPU, this app will be installed on your system. PhysX configuration is set from the Nvidia Control Panel app. PhysX allows certain functions that are still handled by the CPU to instead be handled by the GPU. If you’re thinking that all games use the GPU, they do indeed mostly use the GPU but for rendering screens. Your games will run better and more smoothly. Generally speaking, if you use PhysX to offload tasks to the GPU This sort of thing requires a lot of processing which, with PhysX, can be offloaded to the GPU. To get hyper-realistic rain in a game, the CPU needs to calculate how often a raindrop falls, where it falls, and the impact of each one on the environment. 
think of rain in a game and how it looks when it interacts with the objects in the game. What sorts of processing does PhysX offload? It offloads things related to action and rendering in 3D physical environments e.g. PhysX has been developed by Nvidia to offload intense processing calculations from a CPU on to a GPU. If you have an Nvidia GPU, it likely makes use of a technology called PhysX. It’s not the default, go-to hardware component for games or other graphics-intensive tasks. These systems may or may not be intended for gaming but they will still have a GPU for the added and improved performance it brings.Ī GPU is used when it’s needed.
