Posts: 7 		When I first downloaded Muvizu, it was taking 30+ minutes to boot. It would work after it came up, but somewhat roughly.

The problem was the presence of multiple graphic cards on my pc that run the laptop's screen and two external monitors. Muvizu was loading into the Intel graphics card in the laptop, which is supposed to be responsible only for the laptop screen.

I opened the control panel for the NVIDIA graphics card and looked for Muvizu in the list of programs under the tab for assigning programs to the card. Muvizu was not in the list, but the Add button brought it into the list by browsing. I assigned Muvizu to that card and have been so very pleased with Muvizu's performance.

If your computer has multiple graphic cards, you might want to check whether Muvizu is running on the card that would give you the best performance.

It has an NVIDIA Geforce 880m graphics card with 8 gigs of v-ram, An Intel core-i7-4910mq cpu and 32 gigs of system ram . Runs and renders Muvizu as well as all my other graphics software VERY fast.

I do not have a benchmark for rendering, so I cannot compare it to other computers. But if it is a little slow on rendering, I just go get a cup of tea and occupy myself with other things. :-)
