Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) was introduced in Windows 10 in May 2020 and is also available in Windows 11. It offloads scheduling tasks to the GPU, improving processing efficiency by reducing CPU bottlenecks. HAGS can be enabled by users with compatible hardware through the Graphics Settings menu, but it is turned off by default. Some applications, like OBS and Sunshine, recommend disabling HAGS to avoid performance issues, particularly with NVIDIA's NVENC encoder. Users have reported problems with certain games, such as Valorant, when HAGS is enabled. HAGS is essential for features like frame generation in DLSS 3, and users are advised to test its impact on their systems.
