Turn Off GPU Acceleration

Overview

ProjectX Infinity Dashboard allows you to manage cloud compute instances with flexible hardware configurations, including GPU acceleration. GPU acceleration can improve performance for certain workloads, but it also increases costs and resource usage. This workflow guides you through disabling GPU acceleration on an existing Bluej4 instance, converting it to CPU-only operation. This is useful when you need to reduce infrastructure costs, troubleshoot GPU compatibility issues, or ensure consistent performance across different deployment environments. The change is applied immediately upon saving.

Before you begin

  • You must have an active ProjectX Infinity Dashboard account with login credentials.
  • You must have access to the Applications section and sufficient permissions to modify instance configurations.
  • You must have an existing Bluej4 application instance with GPU acceleration currently enabled (identified as 'Bluej4 CPU • 4 GB • GPU' in the application list).

Step by step

1
Clickrahulkumaran

Click on your user account name (rahulkumaran) in the top navigation to access your account menu and ensure you are working within the correct user context.

Tip. Your account name appears in the top-right corner of the Dashboard. Clicking here may reveal additional account options or user settings if needed.
Step 1
2
ClickDashboard

Click the Dashboard button to navigate to your main ProjectX Infinity Dashboard, where all your cloud applications and instances are managed.

Step 2
3
ClickApplications

Click the Applications button to view the list of all your deployed applications and compute instances.

Tip. The Applications section lists all active instances with their current hardware configuration (CPU, memory, GPU status) displayed inline.
Step 3
4
ClickBluej4 CPU • 4 GB • GPU

Click on the Bluej4 instance labeled 'Bluej4 CPU • 4 GB • GPU' to open its configuration details page where you can modify its hardware settings.

Tip. The GPU indicator will be visible in the instance name if it is currently enabled. Ensure you select the correct Bluej4 instance if multiple instances exist.
Step 4
5
Clickbutton

Click the toggle or configuration button to disable GPU acceleration on this instance. This action switches the instance from GPU-enabled to CPU-only execution.

Tip. Look for a toggle switch, checkbox, or button labeled 'GPU' or 'Hardware Acceleration' on the configuration page. Some interfaces display this as a dropdown menu or radio button group—select the CPU-only option.
Warning. Disabling GPU acceleration will immediately reduce the instance's compute capability. Verify that your application can run on CPU-only resources before confirming this change.
Step 5
6
ClickSave

Click the Save button to apply the GPU acceleration disable setting to your instance configuration.

Tip. Some interfaces require confirmation after clicking Save. If a confirmation dialog appears, click Save again to finalize the change.
Step 6
7
ClickSave

Click the Save button a second time to confirm and finalize the configuration change, ensuring the GPU acceleration disable setting is permanently applied to your Bluej4 instance.

Tip. This second Save click may be required to commit changes to the backend. After this step completes, you should see confirmation that the configuration has been updated.
Step 7

Confirm it worked

  1. 1After saving, the instance name in the Applications list should update to reflect the removal of GPU (e.g., 'Bluej4 CPU • 4 GB' without the GPU suffix).
  2. 2The instance configuration page should no longer show GPU acceleration as an active resource.
  3. 3The Dashboard should display no errors or warnings related to the configuration change.
