I think ChimeraX will use the default GPU for the display it is started on. This is a question about how to configure Ubuntu and Nvidia drivers. There is nothing in ChimeraX to control which GPU is used. ChimeraX simply asks for an OpenGL context using the Qt window toolkit and is given one.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> You'll need to search online for guidance on how Ubuntu 20.04 decides which GPU to use and how to control that. Please post a message how it is done if you figure it out.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 23, 2020, at 4:51 PM, Shasha Feng <<a href="mailto:shaalltime@gmail.com" class="">shaalltime@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi Tom,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sorry about not clarifying my operating system.
