Since I'm running a new Nvidia GPU with a driver > 411.x, I needed PD 18 to use Nvidia HWA for encode.
I have Win10 with an Intel CPU/UHD 630. I also have an Nvidia GTX-1650 Super with the 442.19 Standard Studio Driver.
The Nvidia GPU is driving my Primary monitor. The UHD is driving my secondary monitor. So both GPU's are in play.
PD 15 works fine on my Win10 box. I have Win10's Graphics Setting pointing PD 15 to the Intel UHD, and I can use QS HWA to encode videos in PD 15.
But now I sound like the Laptop guys! I don't see an option on the Produce page to use the Nvidia HW to encode. All I see is the QS option, which I cannot select.
Nor do I see anything about encoding with the Nvidia in the HW screen. I've run the Optimization sniffer numerous times, with different settings in Graphics Settings. (After restarting PD.) When I run the Optimizer, I see the GPU use on my Nvidia spike up, sometimes the fans come on, but as you can see in the screen shot, it doesn't offer me HW Encode. Should it?
I set Graphics Settings to point to the Nividia. Not only for pdr.exe, but also the GPU utility. It seems to me that PD 18 sees the Nvida, from this screen shot:
Next I went to the Nvidia Control Panel, and manually set OpenGL rendering to the GTX. (By the way, I've restarted PD after all these setting changes. Even rebooted Win10 a few times.)
No joy.
I can't disable the UHD from my BIOS - even if I point my BIOS to make the Nvidia my Primary Driver, the UHD is always available to Windows. (It's a Dell.)
Maybe I'm missing something and it's working as it should? 'Cause when I encoded some test vidoes, the encodes went faster than PD 15, I saw some activity on my Nvidia GPU. But CPU usage was also at 100% too.
My DxDiag is attached.
