CorelDRAW Help | Configure GPUs

Configure GPUs

If your system has multiple available graphics processing units (GPUs), you can select which one CorelDRAW Graphics Suite uses for various processing tasks.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite utilizes GPU hardware acceleration in the following areas:

• Display – provides fluid panning, zooming, and screen rendering

• Effects – lets you apply bitmap effects as lenses, providing greater precision and design freedom

• Art Styles – these presets use AI technology to modify an image or object, producing a stylized version while preserving the original content

• Resampling – AI-powered upsampling is used to enlarge images and trace bitmaps, resulting in clean edges, sharpness, and fine details

• JPEG Artifact Removal – advanced machine-learning technology is used to remove JPEG compression artifacts, restoring both color and detail in images

To configure GPUs

1 Click Tools

Options

Global.

By default, the Use hardware acceleration check box is enabled.

2 Choose a GPU from the Use hardware acceleration list box.

3 Enable or disable the check boxes that correspond with the areas of hardware acceleration that you want to turn on or off:

• Display

• Effects

• Art Styles

• Resampling

• JPEG Artifact Removal

If the selected GPU is not normally used for display, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite will continue to use the OS-designated GPU for display to maintain optimal performance. The selected GPU will be used for all other hardware acceleration options.

Changes made to the GPU configuration may require an application restart.
