 To optimize battery life, many **laptop computers** contain an integrated graphics adapter along with a faster dedicated graphics card for more demanding graphical tasks. When working with //Visiometa// (or any other graphically intense application for that matter), the switching of the graphics adapter in the middle of operation can lead to display and **performance issues** or even **program crashes**. Additionally, by default, the system may load the software with the low-end video option and does not switch to the high-performance GPU.  To optimize battery life, many **laptop computers** contain an integrated graphics adapter along with a faster dedicated graphics card for more demanding graphical tasks.
