How to force the use of independent graphics card to accelerate EASYEDA Professional Edition PCB?

Details

Many students have dual graphics cards: an integrated graphics card and a dedicated graphics card. Our EasyEDA Professional Edition PCB requires graphics card support, so using a dedicated graphics card for rendering can speed up PCB rendering, zooming, and panning, achieving smoother results. If your system is Windows 7, the client may not display the PCB properly or may even fail to open. You'll need to configure this as follows. The EasyEDA browser defaults to using the integrated graphics card; you need to configure it in your system to use the dedicated graphics card. Before doing so, please download and update the latest graphics card driver from the official website.（It is recommended to use a browser other than Firefox.） The tutorial is as follows: If your operating system is Win10 1.Turn on the Graphics acceleration function in the system settings of Google Chrome. Google Chrome：

2.Then go to win10 system settings - System - Display - Graphics settings.

3.After that, you need to enable the hardware accelerated GPU plan and graphics performance preferences and add Google Chrome and Firefox browsers, or the client's easyeda-pro.exe file.

4.Finally, after adding the browser's running file exe (if you need to set the default independent graphics card for the client, you can select easyeda-pro.exe in the client installation directory to add it), click the list, click Options, set the graphics preference to high performance, and click Save.

After completing all the previous steps, when you open the browser again to draw the PCB, the independent graphics card will be used, and the running speed of the PCB will be much faster.

If your operating system is Windows 7: 1.First, download the latest graphics card driver from the official website, install it, and update it. 2.Then, install the graphics management software for your discrete graphics card, or open the graphics control panel. For example, for NVIDIA graphics cards: Since our testers don't have Windows 7, the image below only demonstrates how to search for the NVIDIA control panel: Search for NVIDIA in the search box. Graphics cards from other manufacturers generally have control software available, which can be downloaded and installed from the official website.

Open and run the NVIDIA Control Panel program:

2.In Manage 3D Settings, set the browser's preferred graphics program to the independent graphics card and then apply it.

The global settings have also been changed to default to the independent graphics card.

Set PhysX configuration to select the independent graphics card.

3.Complete the above steps, and the browser will prioritize the settings for your discrete graphics card. If, after setting this up in Windows 7, the client still can't open PCB properly, you'll need to upgrade your system to Windows 10. EasyEDA will no longer work on Windows 7. If you're using an AMD graphics card, the steps are similar, following the same configuration as above; the control software differs.
