DXO 7 on Apple M1 does not make use of GPU when exporting Nikon RAWs

DXO Details:
Version: DXO Elite 7.9.0 build 65

System details:
MacBook Air M1
OS: Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1

I launched Activity Monitor while exporting ~350 Nikon RAW to HQ JPG
All 8 cores are at 100% CPU usage, while the GPU graph is barely at 1% usage.

All photos have the PRIME denoise setting.

How can I make DXO use the GPU to speed up the photo rendering?

PRIME is intended for PCs without usable GPU.
Use DeepPRIME or DeepPRIME XD instead.

Set PL to use DeepPrime with your M1 Mac, then PL will use the processor’s NPU - you’ll find the results better than using Prime, and the export time will be quicker.
