    # How to make MineCraft use your GPU
    Did you open up Task Manager (ctrl shift esc) and notice minecraft is using integrated graphics? Or from the F3 scren?

    For me all pre-existing tutorials didn't work/were outdated, and NVidia Control Panel seems to no longer open.

    Ideally going to Graphics Settings should have this option https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/703437968634937344/869613353520234556/minecraft-not-using-gpu-4.png
