Those who have more experience with PC hardware and software, especially with editing programs, know that certain applications can get the most out of certain video cards. With that in mind, Microsoft will soon make available, in one of its Windows 10 updates, a feature that allows you to choose a specific GPU (VGA) to run a particular application and get better performance.
what is there so far
Currently, Windows 10 users can choose a graphics card for workloads that require more graphics power and another VGA for lighter activities, in order to save energy (a very useful feature for notebooks that have a dedicated graphics card and graphics processor integrated into the CPU). However, this functionality is not very useful for enthusiasts who have video cards from different manufacturers or VGAs designed for different applications.
How will it work?
To exemplify: the Geforce RTX2080Ti video card is one of the best currently available for games, but it lags behind the VGA Quadro RTX4000 in applications aimed at editing, as it has both hardware and software aimed at these types of programs. In other words, this new functionality really makes a lot of sense for those who work with images and videos, such as professionals who are designers, engineers and content creators.
When will it be available and how can I get it?
Now, starting with the Windows 10 build 20190 update, OS and multiple graphics card users will be able to link a specific GPU to a certain program.
Currently, Windows 10 build 20190 is in beta, that is, if you want to test the new functionality now, you will need to register for Microsoft's Windows Insider program.
