About this tag
Per-app GPU preference is a Windows 10 and 11 feature that lets you assign specific graphics processors to individual applications. This is especially useful on laptops or desktops with both integrated and discrete GPUs, allowing you to route games or demanding software to the high-performance GPU while keeping less intensive tasks on the power-saving integrated graphics. The tagged content focuses on configuring this setting for gaming to improve frame rates and reduce battery drain. Guides cover step-by-step instructions, verification tips, and how per-app GPU preference fits into a broader gaming optimization toolkit alongside Game Mode, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, and DirectStorage.
