How to set PIX4Dsurvey to use a discrete graphics card (Windows 10 and Windows 11)

Using a discrete graphics card can be beneficial for several PIX4Dsurvey processes and leads to better performances in processing and a more responsive user interface.
We suggest enabling PIX4Dsurvey to use the real graphic card on your Windows device. Please proceed with the following steps:

Click on System.
Make sure Display is selected in the left sidebar.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Display settings page and click Graphics settings.

If PIX4Dsurvey is not in the provided list, select Desktop app, click on Browse, and select PIX4Dsurvey.exe, which should be located in C:\Program Files\PIX4Dsurvey\.
Click on the newly added PIX4Dsurvey and then click on Options and then select High performance.
