Q: How can I set NaviModel or Helmsman's display to use my GPU instead of CPU?
A: The user can make this setting in the GUI of the GPU. All applications that must use the graphic card. needs to be added here. Please see an example below for the NaviModel Producer and the NVIDIA Control Panel:
NaviModel module detects the current operating system and starts automatically in the optimum mode.
Special operations with heavy data management (e.g. S-CAN cleaning and data exporters) will perform significantly better on a 64-bit platform.
NaviModel uses OpenGL for all drawing operations, and the performance is heavily depending on the graphics board, in particular on the specifications for speed and addressable RAM.
It is the general experience, that the following performance issues shall be considered with respect to hardware platform:

It is the general experience, that the following performance issues shall be considered with respect to hardware platform:
- Hard disk speed (all modules perform countless disk I/O)
- Amount of (addressable) RAM (in particular in connection with NaviModel)
- Multi-core PC
