Method for running computer program on video card selected based on video card preferences of the program

摘要

A parameter relating to the video card preferences of a target computer program is determined. In response to the target computer program being started on a computing device having a number of video cards, one of these video cards is selected to run the target computer program on, based on the parameter. The target computer program is then run on the video card selected. The parameter may include the specific identify of one of the video cards on which the target computer program is to be run, as well as other types of parameters that do not specifically identify any of the video cards. The video card preferences of the target computer program may also include video card requirements of the target computer program.

1. A method comprising:
determining a parameter relating to video card preferences of a target computer program, by, while the target computer program is running on a computing device having a plurality of video cards, capturing video card calls from the target computer program, and selecting the parameter based on the video card calls captured from the target computer program; in response to starting the target computer program on the computing device, selecting a video card, from the plurality of video cards of the computing device, to run the target computer program on, based on the parameter; and running the target computer program on the video card selected; andstoring the parameter relating to the video card preferences of the target computer program as selected, wherein later reselection of the parameter is avoided.
