GPU support

GPU support on DaDesktop is achieved through two distinct methods:

  1. Physical GPU passthrough (available in select data centres). This delivers full hardware acceleration by using a real graphics card
  2. GPU simulation via LLVM Pipe. This runs smoothly on any of our Linux distributions, like Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04. However, at this time, it is not compatible with Windows 10.

If you're unsure whether your application requires a GPU (for example, Blender does), you might encounter a message similar to this:

"A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required. Install the latest driver for your graphics card might resolve the issue"
