I am trying to the locate the option for hardware acceleration on my Windows 11 PC to determine if it is actually being used or not. However when I go to Control Panel -> System -> Display -> Graphics, I do not see the option for hardware acceleration under default settings or adavanced graphics settings. Instead, below default settings, I see a box that says "You'll need to restart your app or game to see your changes." If it helps, my graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, my integrated GPU is an Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770, and my CPU is a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13600k with 14 cores.

    Hi, I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
    I believe you are looking for the option "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling".

    Make sure your graphics card driver is up-to-date.

    Download and run GPU-Z, and asked to install, select "Not now", make sure your AMD graphics card is selected at the bottom of the window, go to "Advanced" tab, and select WDDM on the dropdown menu and send a screenshot.

    I guess its actually not supported by my current hardware given what GPUZ says. I appreciate you helping me navigate to this though
