      Hi Team!

      I installed latest version of Opera on my laptop Dell Precision 5520 display 4K.
      I want to force Opera uses or shares using dGPU (Dedicated GPU) for smooth when surf web, facebook, youtube,...
      I turned on 'Use hardware acceleration when available' and set up Nvidia using dGPU for Opera but it still only uses iGPU, not use dGPU.
      Is there any ways to force Opera using dGPU?
      My dedicated VGA card is Quadro M1200

      Thanks!

        I don't know, but if you find a solution for Chrome, it will probably work in Opera too as they're both based on Chromium. See https://www.google.com/search?q=force+chrome+to+use+dedicated+gpu&oq=force+chrome+to+use+d.

          Try setting opera://flags/#use-angle to "OpenGL".

            Also, see https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/31pkn3/force_chrome_to_use_amd_discrete_graphics_card/. You can use mklink to make a hard link named "opera-dgpu.exe that points to opera.exe and then add that to Nvidia's control panel for using the GPU you want. You'd obviously have to update the hard link every time Opera updates though.

              Dear Team!
              I had already fixed this problem. Opera has two '.exe' files, 'launcher.exe' and 'opera.exe' to run it, we must add 'opera.exe' to 'Graphics settings' of window 10 to enable using dGPU in Opera. If we add 'launcher.exe' to 'Graphics settings', it will not work.
              To find location of 'opera.exe' file, you can use search function of window in C drive.
              Thank all for your support!
