How do I designate graphics card

[jrkrutsch258]

Hello,

How do I designate Fusion360 to run with a specific graphics card?  My school purchased a Dell Precision 7560 that I use and while it has the graphics it came with I also have a dedicated on it, an NVidia RTX A2000

How do I set so Fusion runs with the Nvidia? My options, when under preferences>General>Graphics Drivers are, from the drop down menu : Auto Select, DirectX11, DirectX9, and OpenGLCore Profile

In fusion the settings

You'll need to select the graphics option before starting Fusion 360.Here is a link to an article that goes through the process of selecting a graphics card for Fusion 360 to use.

Let us know if this answers your question.

Hi @jrkrutsch258 

Please confirm with your IT Admin on the process for your computer to recognize the NVidia card. 
Here is what I learned. "If you don't change the GPU configuration in the BIOS settings, your system will continue to use the Intel HD GPU that's on the central processor."

Hope this helps.
