Topic: how to use my laptop's dedicted gpu(nvidia 1050ti mobile) on linux

I not sure but I really think svp is not using the laptop's dedicated gpu. it doesn't show up in nvidia-smi or nvtop monitors and am getting a bit of stutter when I am playing 1080p videos.

I found this post https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3722 that says I should find an option for it from menu -> App settings -> GPU acceleration, but I cant find the gpu acceleration option in the application settings I am on "SVP 4 Linux [4.5.0.210]"
