# Setting the Dedicated Graphics Card

## Summary

Many computers have several graphics cards: an onboard graphics card and an additional high-performance graphics card, also called a dedicated graphics card.

Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS may not detect the dedicated graphics card on computers with multiple graphics cards.

## Workaround

Most graphics card manufacturers provide software to manage the use of the graphics card for specific apps. See below how to set the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card to be used with Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS:

1. Navigate to the Windows **Start** menu > **NVIDIA Control Panel**.
2. In the **NVIDIA Control Panel** dialog, in the **Select a Task** panel, click **Manage 3D settings**.
3. Navigate to the **Program Settings** tab.
4. Click the **Add** button, browse to the Leica Geosystem’s program folder, and select the desired program for the graphics card configuration.
5. Select the preferred graphics card.
6. Click **Apply**.
