Power BI GPU vs CPU

Hello!

 

This may be a simple question but I don't know much about processors. Will DAX calculations be sped up with the presence of a GPU as opposed to just a CPU? Is there a way to force calculations to use the GPU?

 

Thanks in advance!

Parker

hi, @Anonymous

Dax calculation is based on VertiPaq Engine. and Its efficiency depends on:

  1. CPU Clock and Model
  2. Memory Speed
  3. Number of Cores
  4. Memory Size

Thank you @v-lili6-msft! I take this to mean that the presence of a GPU will not affect performance
