Hardware acceleration allows parts of your computer, such as video and sound cards, to take over tasks without overloading the processor. This can be expressed in decoding video or sound with the appropriate hardware in the computer.
It is necessary
- - a computer
- - drivers for video and audio cards
Instructions
Step 1
Hardware acceleration currently requires a lot of applications that work with video and sound. If the acceleration is not set, then the system may fail, because large tasks are assigned to the processor.
The option to increase or decrease hardware acceleration becomes available only after the device drivers are installed. The required drivers are included with the device (on a CD-ROM). If you do not have these disks, then the drivers can be downloaded from the official website of the manufacturer of your hardware.
You will also need to install the Direct X package, which is freely distributed on the web. It's worth noting that nearly every game disc includes Direct X.
Step 2
To set the value of the video card hardware acceleration, right-click on the desktop - "Properties" - "Advanced" button - "Diagnostics" tab - "Hardware acceleration" tab. On the "Hardware acceleration" tab, you need to change 2 parameters: "Hardware acceleration" and "Enable write registration". Both parameters must be activated, and "Hardware acceleration" must be set to maximum, in the value "Full".
Step 3
To set the value of the hardware acceleration of the sound card, click the "Start" menu on the desktop - the "Run" command - write the "Dxdiag" command. This will open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool window. Go to the "Sound" tab, in this tab change the "Hardware acceleration level" parameter, set it to maximum.
