Merry Christmas all,
Are there any members that can get their GPU to use more than 21% and 5 to 6% of memory usage while rendering their video through PD 11.? This seems to be the maximum I can extract from mine, no matter how much I load the timeline up with extras. The Cpu goes to 80% /100% . Then a warning flashes up high CPU usage.All buttons are enabled for fast rendering.

GPU: Nvidea Geforce GTX 580.

CPU: intel core i7-2600 3.40 ghz

Memory: 16348MB.

64 bit windows 7

Yes to your GPU and memory questions, it's really just a function of what's in the timeline.

As a test, shown below is a pic of basic nature.mpg in the timeline with a HA effect added to the whole timeline, ~50% average GPU usage, without effect, ~25%. Memory usage was discussed here, http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/25465.page and maybe of help.

Having surplus capability of RAM, GPU, or VRAM relative to what your timeline requires will not make anything "faster" or utilized if not required. It simply is not needed and therefore not used in a simple serial timeline encoding sequence.

Graeme1946 ,

I have ATI graphics and the with the new drivers and PD11 the GPU is hardly in use, less tna 10 % at the most. The CPU does a great job of rendering and is faster than PD10. Win 10, i7
