If the target app does not appear:

1. Wait a few seconds.
2. In the Pin application section, click sync to refresh the list.
3. If the app is still not bound automatically, click Bind app to add it manually.

WARNING

The total VRAM allocated to all apps cannot exceed the GPU's total VRAM.

If the value is lower than the app's minimum requirement, Confirm is disabled.

Add an app and assign VRAM

In most cases, running apps are automatically bound and appear in the list after GPU scheduling is complete.

If the target app does not appear:
