These notices appear at the top of the picture when the workstation or this device is working without graphics hardware, or when Windows is limiting this device’s speed.
This workstation has no GPU
Section titled “This workstation has no GPU”What you see
“This workstation has no GPU” with “Performance may be reduced in graphics-intensive applications.”

What it means
The workstation has no supported graphics card, so it encodes the picture on its processor. This is the expected notice on such a workstation.
What to do
Nothing is needed. For the picture and encoding your workstation can give, see Host Requirements.
This device is not using its graphics hardware
Section titled “This device is not using its graphics hardware”What you see
“This device is not using its graphics hardware” with one of:
| Detail | What it means |
|---|---|
| “Video is decoded on the processor, so the picture may be slower.” | This device is decoding the video on its processor. |
| “The picture is drawn on the processor, so it may be slower.” | This device is drawing the decoded picture on its processor. |
| “Video is decoded and drawn on the processor, so the picture may be slower.” | Both. |

What it means
