# allowLowPower

A Boolean value to control the power level of Core Image context renders.

## Declaration

```swift
static let allowLowPower: CIContextOption
```

## Discussion

Discussion This option only affects certain macOS devices with more than one available GPU device. If this value is True, then rendering with the context will use a use allow power GPU device if available and the high power device is not already in use. Otherwise, the context will use the highest power/performance GPU device.
