Harware acceleration isn’t the panacea it seems, it really just helps take some load off the CPU. Our similar desktop has Intel Graphics disabled, so everything runs on the Nvidia card. This is on an 4k Alienware laptop with optimus. I went back to Intel Graphics, all is fine. It works but browser scrolling became glitchy and momentary white screens showed up sporadically. Yet another way to get to the setting above is hit the “i” bubble, which no one notices, in the Nv Control Panel, where it says “Widows OS now manages selection of the graphics processor.”įirefox, Chromium and Power Director are the only programs I’ve found so far that need this silly treatment. You can add FF to the Nv Control Panel but when FF’s running, there’s no Nvidia activity in Task Manager.

Laptop Nvidia cards used to be able to be set to run FF but not now apparently. Need to close FF, should reboot, too.Īlso can just right click on desktop, pick desktop settings and go there directly. Try this Windows Weirdness Setting: Settings>Display>Graphics Settings (at bottom) and add Firefox in performance mode.
