## Hardware Configuration
Displays the current user's hardware environment, including information about the graphics card, driver version, and OpenGL version.
## Graphics Display Settings
- Hardware Acceleration: Check the box to enable hardware acceleration and use the GPU to optimize graphics rendering. If unchecked, the mode switches to the default "Software Mode."
- Smooth Line Display: Removes jagged edges from the graphic for a smoother display effect.
Note：
1. If hardware acceleration cannot be enabled, it may be due to the hardware environment not meeting the conditions for enabling hardware acceleration:
(1) OpenGL4.2 or below or the driver version is too low, you can try to upgrade the system's graphics driver.
(2) If you experience incompatibility issues or performance issues, try turning off hardware acceleration.
(3) For the best software experience, Windows 7 and below are not supported.
2. If the system has dual graphics cards (discrete graphics and integrated graphics), it is recommended to manually set it to high-performance graphics for better display performance. Setting high-performance graphics depends on the graphics card model and its corresponding software and driver versions. Taking Windows 10 as an example, the manual setting method is as follows:
① Right-click on the desktop and select Display Settings;
② Find "Graphic Settings" in "Display Settings";
③ On the "Graphics Settings" page, click "Browse" under "Select the application to set preferences", find gcad.exe under the installation path and add it to the list;
④ Click GstarCAD application and click "Options";
⑤ In the Graphics Preferences dialog box, select "High Performance" and click Save.
