Quote Hi! I've been trying for over a year to get my laptop ( HP Envy 17-ae1xx) to use the Nvidia MX150 GPU for PD17.

It just defaults the On-Board Intel Graphics Chip, the Intel UHD Graphics 620.


Has anyone had any success with enabling the MX150 chip on their dual GPU laptop?

Thanks for any help.

If I had know that it could not be done with PD on these Laptops, I would NOT have bought one and wasted my money... sigh....

The MX150 has absolutly zero capability to encode or decode H.264 and/or H.265 video so you are much better off with the Intel iGPU which will probably suite you fine on a laptop.

You may be late to the party. Here is one technique to enable the Nvidia gpu for video editing in PowerDirector: https://youtu.be/QHMB9KuxeUg .

This was discussed last month. Here is another one but got no feedback: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/80933.page .Another one still: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/80955.page#333046 . Would like some feedback as to whether any of these three techniques work for you. Use gpu-z to confirm gpu activity.

Jeff answered first. I agree with him as far as hardware encoding. These individuals actually show the gpu activity using the Nvidia card but not a single individual has shown or claimed hardware nvenc encoding. Still waiting to see it...
