How to enable hardware acceleration

For a media player program, GPU acceleration (for hardware decoding) is necessary. Otherwise, the playback performance may be compromised, and the CPU will be overwhelmed. A media player with poor hardware acceleration abilities should be discarded. Fortunately, Tipard Blu-ray Player has strong support for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel graphics cards.

Step 1 Click the Tools button, and then the Preferences option.

Step 2 Here, you can see that Hardware-acceleration decoding is Automatic. You can also click the dropdown button to select your desired graphics card. Generally, you should choose the dedicated graphics card like NVIDIA or AMD, rather than the integrated one from Intel.
