Plug-In Options for Graphics
Dell Precision Optimizer allows you to install plug-in options that are certified for some applications which you may be using on your
system. To find out whether Dell provides any certified plug-in options for your specific system, click View all.
NOTE: This section is not displayed if plug-in options are not available for your system.
The certified version that you have downloaded and installed may be an older version, than the latest version is available in the Dell support
site for your system. If you need to switch back to the latest graphics plug-in options (which may or may not be certified), use the System
Updates page.
Install Plug-In for Graphics
Click Notifications on the upper right corner of the Optimization page to view the available plug-in options for graphics. This link is
disabled if Dell Precision Optimizer did not find any available certified drivers for your system or you have not run CHECK FOR UPDATES
from the System Updates page even once.
NOTE:
Dell Precision Optimizer checks for available plug-in options when you either run CHECK FOR UPDATES
manually or run it periodically in auto mode.
Click View all to see all the available plug-in options and their versions. If that specific plug-in version is not already installed, an option to
Download and Install is displayed.
This page also shows whether or not one of these plug-in options are already installed on your system.
Once you start to download and install a plug-in option from this page, you would not be able to either check for updates, nor apply any
updates.
Once the update is complete, a window indicating the status of the update is displayed.
NOTE:
The certified driver that you have downloaded and installed may be an older version than the latest available from
the Dell support site for your system. If you need to switch back to the latest graphics driver (which may or may not be
certified), use the System Updates screen.
Performance Notifications
Enabling the toggle allows you to track and view any Performance Notifications generated by the Dell Precision Optimizer. These
notifications are generated only when either System Analysis or Workload Analysis is running and when either high CPU, Memory, or Disk
utilization is detected by Dell Precision Optimizer.
To view any existing notifications, click View all.
