CustomisingCustomisable virtual desktop settings
The default virtual desktop settings are designed to service the majority of virtual desktop use cases. However, if you should need access to more computing resources for your project, you can customise the resources allocated to your desktop by clicking the Change Settings button and changing the resource allocations as required.
Users can choose between a virtual desktop that uses CPUs or GPUs as well as being able to adjust the number of virtual cores and memory. For further information about how to customise your virtual desktop, go to https://ternaus.atlassian.net/l/cp/AhtRH1x1.
