GPU setup on Windows

Windows only; Mac handles hardware acceleration automatically. Salience checks for a working NVIDIA driver and 4 GB or more of VRAM before using your GPU, the same Quality mode hardware described in Install and first run.

If the driver is missing, the GPU is too small, or none is detected, Salience says so and falls back to CPU rather than failing. Generation still works, just slower.

Control it in Settings → Models → Acceleration: Auto, CPU, or NVIDIA. Windows-only section. Still not picking up your GPU after that? See Repair and setup.
