[ros-users] Is the Gazebo simulation GPU bound?

[Ibrahim Awwal]

  Oh, specs might be useful. I've got a Core i5 laptop with the 
integrated GPU that's on the Core i5, so probably Intel's best IGP. And 
a Radeon 5650, but that's not working right now and hence the problem. I 
can get access to a machine that works better pretty easily but it would 
be nice to have it working well on my laptop. Is there any way I can 
turn down the quality of the simulation or anything like that? 
Wireframes doesn't seem to make a difference in performance. Thanks,
