During the setup of a new external graphics processing unit (eGPU) on a workstation, you notice that the eGPU is powered on, but the graphics-enhancing capabilities are not available when running graphic-intensive applications. Assuming that the eGPU is compatible with the system and is connected correctly, what is the most appropriate next step to troubleshoot this problem?
Check if the latest driver for the eGPU is installed and update it if necessary.
Replace the USB cable that connects the eGPU to the workstation, as it may be faulty.
Increase the virtual memory of the system to provide more resources for the eGPU.
Install another application to check if the eGPU is recognized by a different software.
