Acrobat DC and Nvidia Optimus

Does Acrobat do Graphics Acceleration?

I have a dell precision 7710 laptop.  It has a Quadro M5000M. 

In NVidia Control Panel I have adobe Acrobat DC to use the Quadro card, but on the task bar, the Quadro Activity icon does not show acrobat using the Quadro.

If I run Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop shows it is using the Quadro, but Acrobat does not use the Quadro instead the integrated GPU.

Nvidia Says this is an issue with Acrobat.  Is there a setting in Acrobat to use the dedicated GPU?

I have some large drawing pdf files that take some time to render on the screen.

thanks,

Mike

My Nvidia settings (GTX950M) are all 3D but in manage 3D settings I can choose to have the Nvidia preferred globally and/or specifically to any program. Might be something comparable for your driver.

I do not have the option "Check 2D graphics accelerator"

I am running the latest Acrobat DC with Creative Cloud.

These options appear based on the graphics card you have.

Hi rinconmike,

Would like to inform you that Acrobat Pro is only for Editing , it does not play any role in Graphics Acceleration .
