Working with GPU Preview

The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized processor
that can quickly execute commands for displaying images,
which allows faster artwork rendering in Illustrator.

If your computer meets the hardware and software
requirements*, GPU Performance is enabled by default. You
can temporarily disable Illustrator’s GPU Preview mode by
choosing View>Preview on CPU. You can also permanently
disable the feature in the GPU Performance pane of the
Preferences dialog box.

When GPU Performance is enabled and the Zoom tool is
active, you can also use the animated zoom feature:

• Hold down the mouse button to dynamically zoom in on
the spot where you click.
• Click and drag right to dynamically zoom in.
• Click and drag left to dynamically zoom out.
