Is your computer faster with "hardware acceleration"?

The performance of graphics cards nowadays is getting stronger and stronger, so many software feel that it’s a bit of a disadvantage to only use the processor for computing. It will be better to pull the graphics card in and work together. This is a special term in Windows called hardware Acceleration (Hardware acceleration).

This function is still very useful in some cases. The processor can’t hold it, and the graphics card will top it. No matter whether it’s watching movies or surfing the Internet, there will be no problems such as freezing. If the processor performance is good, but the matching is that kind Bright machine card, not only does not have the effect of acceleration, it is certain to add chaos.

And the annoying thing is that in the era of WinXP, hardware acceleration can be turned off directly in the driver settings. When it comes to Win10, it seems that you can only manually manually in each software program. It happens that you have multiple XX music, XX video, XX browser, slowly find it in the settings.

Of course, the editor dared to raise this problem with confidence, and the proper solution was also prepared. Options that are not found in the settings and control panels must be buried in the registry.

Enter regedit after the Win+R key combination, enter the registry editor, and locate

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video

Under Video, there will be one or more {XXXXXX} sub-items, which are determined based on how many graphics cards you have in your computer (centralized display, independent display, integrated display + independent display).

At this time, you need to expand the {XXXXXX}\0000 item in turn, and then find a key value named "Acceleration.Level" on the right, change its value to 5, and then you can disable the software to use weak graphics cards. The hardware is accelerated.

Of course, those who use i7+1080, if they feel that the computer is too noisy when surfing the Internet or watching videos, you can also use this method to shut up the graphics card fan and spend a quiet summer.
