CPU and GPU Intelligence

You can review CPU or graphics subsystem details by clicking the CPU Details or GPU Details links in the CPU or graphics dials on the

Optimization page.

The CPU or GPU Intelligence Chart Activity page allows you to view the current processor and graphics subsystem utilizations. You

can view the detail of your processor and graphics configurations.

To enable the collection and display of various processor or graphics data elements, toggle Charting from Off to On.

After enabling charting for CPU data, Dell Precision Optimizer starts collecting CPU data and displays it for all logical processors in the

system. Similarly, when you enable the Charting for Graphics subsystem, the Dell Precision Optimizer starts collecting data and displays

that data for all graphics processors found in the system.

NOTE:

• Graphics data collection is supported for NVIDIA and AMD graphics adapters running the latest drivers. If you have

Switchable Graphics enabled in the system BIOS, your graphics application may not execute on your NVIDIA or AMD

controller. Therefore, you may not see any GPU utilization change.

• Graphics data only displays the name and driver information for the first active graphics adapter found in the

system. If you have more than one graphics adapter (but different models), the name, driver, or the version of the

first one is displayed. However, the performance data (like utilization, temperature, and so on) for all active adapters

are displayed.

Graphics Plug-in Options

Access the graphics plug-in options for your system by clicking Notifications in the graphics details on the Optimization page.

This page allows you to view the Radeon ProRender plug-ins that are available for your system for various ISV applications. You may

choose to download and install them on your system if you have the corresponding ISV applications installed. If a plug-in is installed, you

can uninstall it later using Windows Programs and Features page, accessible through the Control Panel.

The Graphics Plug-in Options page also displays a newer version of an installed Radeon ProRender plug-in, if available. Download and

install the newer version.

NOTE:

After the download and installation has started, exit the application. These operations continue in the

background as long as you do not log off or reboot the system.
