I don't understand the issue. OP wants to use the OpenCL with intel's GPU? Why not using the GTX1060 for that?

The NVENC part (decoding/encoding videos) is totally separated from the GPU cores, so it is not affecting at all OpenCL functionality.

SoNic67 – I believe than the newer Intel drivers support OpenCL2.0 while the Nvidia cuda support is only 1.1 or 1.2 as you have shown. AMD cards support 2.0.

And the problem is...? PD doesn't need 2.0, it works fine with 1.2. Unless somebody can point to an FX that cannot run in nvidia OpenCL because is not 2.0? Cyberlink OpenCL wrapper says "Copyright 2011". Wonder if they changed anything since then.


And that's anyway too much worry, because openCL it is needed only for some FX's. I thinkl that some of the FX can even use CUDA directly.

No, what I mean is that in order to use the Nvidia card I have to disable the Intel graphics as the switching setting in Nvidia control panel doesn't work. Main Machine: Jetway NF9G-QM77, Intel i7-3610QM, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3GB, 128gb SSD, Windows 10 Pro

I am confused...

I thought that you worry about loosing Intel OpenCL.

Yeah, I loose the OpenCL for other apps that are using it at the moment when I launch PowerDirector. After launching PowerDirector, I can then enable the Intel Graphics card so the other apps use it while PowerDirector uses the Nvidia card Main Machine: Jetway NF9G-QM77, Intel i7-3610QM, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3GB, 128gb SSD, Windows 10 Pro

Hey guys



I was actually trying to find solution for the PD15 activations as it is keep saying that could not connect to activation server and i should check my internet connection which is fine btw.



Anyway, I have Nvidia Geforce 960 card and now I am reading this thread and I am now not sure does PD14 (currently I am using) is using my Nvidia card or not and how can I check or switch it to use it.

Is there a simple answer to that ?

I also have PD 15 and I think this explains why my Video Editing preview is lagging. Looking at Nvidia Control Panel, Cyberlink PD is assigned to 'integrated Graphics' and is completely grayed out. No way to change it.

How do I go about manually enabling PD to use Nvidia Graphics instead of integrated graphics? My system is Dell Inspiron 7000 Series.

THanks

I have a less than 1 year old laptop with dedicated Nvidia GTX970 and an integrated Intel HD 530.

I find it incredibly frustrating that this product does not work with Nvidia as advertised when I purchased it. Every other graphic intensive program I own.. and I have a lot .. easily switches to use the Nvidia card when graphic acceleration is of key importance.

Is it really Nvidia's fault or is PowerDirector coded incorrectly to make the switch happen?

Can someone form Cyberlink please answer why your software does not work with all modern day laptops with dual graphic card setups.



Thanks.

I sent a support request in on September 29th. 10 days ago. I am still waiting to hear back. I have checked the Nvidia forums and there are many people there also with this issue but no one seems to hear anything from Cyberlink or Nvidia. Seems like neither side is really interested in resolvoing this issue. Very frustrating.

I heard back form Cyberlink and they say that their software is fully compliant and that the issue is with Nvidia. I find this funny as Cyberlink used to bundle software with Nvidia graphics cards. The fact that they don't have a better working relationship and they are asking me the end user to resolve this with nvidia is a bit weird.

I have spent the last hour chatting with Nvidia, doing full clean installs etc and nothing works, so they have agreed to escalate this with the software development team and see if this goes anywhere. FIngers crossed. If it doesntI will switch software and try to get a refund. THey advertise NVIDIA compatability but they don't follow through on it!

So... did you have any luck with the nvidia guys? I'm in a similar predicament. PD14 wouldn't utilize the nvidia card. I upgraded to PD16 thinking that would solve the issue. Nope.

edit: 15 minutes later: applied the fix described here:

Success!
