Windows 11 has various features that will guarantee you a better user experience than before. One of those features is hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. This feature improves video and gaming performance using the PC’s GPU. This tutorial will address this issue and show you how to enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling on Windows 11 systems.
Hardware-accelerated GPU planning
So what is this feature for? Usually, all graphics intensive data that could hamper the performance of the computer is transferred to the GPU for rendering. The CPU is responsible for collecting data, assigning commands and prioritizing information to be returned by the GPU. However, with the hardware accelerated GPU scheduling feature, VRAM and GPU scheduling processor take over some of these tasks for the CPU and ensure that your system runs better.
