Rhino 7 + 8 appear to not be using my Nvidia GPU.
I only noticed this after a debilitating slow down in my viewports and not being able to print PDFs.
How do I fix this? Urgent issue! Any rapid responses would be most appreciated!!!

Laptop is using the slower, less reliable integrated graphics device and probably needs a configuration change.
