Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows 11 can be used to reduce latency and improve PC performance. When hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling is enabled, the CPU offloads some high-priority tasks to your GPU so that the GPU can manage more graphics-intensive tasks. Thereby reducing the CPU load and improving PC performance. This article will show you how to enable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows 11.
