Optimizing system settings for Sonar / DAWs ..

Hi Guys,
 
I have a Dell inspiron i5 17" laptop with NVidia Graphics card GT750M
 
I was always wondering how much a graphics card comes into play with Sonar / DAWs .. as in settings that may enhance / interfere with how the Sonar screens and plugins render, speed of etc?
 
Any thought on this??

    A graphics card has very little effect on a DAW, or to put it another way, a DAW has modest graphics requirements.  I would go after the Windows power settings first.
     

    Software: Cakewalk by Bandlab; Adobe Audition; Band-in-A-Box audiophile; Izotope Ozone; Encore; Melodyne; Win 10 Pro, 64-bit.

    Hardware: Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd; Roland Integra-7; TCE Finalizer; Presonus Central Station, Behringer X-Touch.  Home built i7 with 16 GB RAM, SSDs.
