## Quick Introduction to GPU Settings for Twinfinity

To fully enjoy Twinfinity’s digital twin platform, it's crucial to ensure your laptop utilizes its dedicated GPU when running our WebGL applications. Many laptops come equipped with two types of GPUs: a low-power, integrated GPU for everyday tasks, and a high-performance, dedicated GPU for more demanding applications like Twinfinity. Occasionally, your browser might not automatically select the more powerful GPU. A straightforward adjustment can significantly enhance your Twinfinity experience. **Remember to keep your power supply connected to ensure your laptop can perform at its best.**

## Identifying Your GPU Setup

Quickly check if your laptop has both an integrated and a dedicated GPU. This information is typically found in your device’s System Information or Device Manager.
