Thanks for the link. I carefully checked the supporting matrix, and find Quadro M1200 is listed to have 1 NVENC chip, and supports H.264. I agree with you that we are not required to have professional video card simply to process 3-4 videos a year. Given the laptop I am using (Dell Precision 5520) is reasonable good for computating task, it is really pitty that the Power Director can not make good use of the discrete graphic card.
I have even tried to download the oldest possible drive back in 2017 for quadro m1200 (release 37 , no luck.

Besides I don't see Quadro m1200 on the NVEN, so if it's not there you ain't have it!

But as discussed before Nvidia via SW driver shuts down features of it's GPUs the distinguish High End, Middle and Entry range
which is a pitty for all of us who are not professional video editors, just afictionates!
Who don't have the need to buy high end systems because you make 3 maybe 4 videos a year.
In my case when I was using Windows P400 driver I had access to CUDA making PD way way faster, when I installed Nvidia Driver stoped having acess to Cuda, Sad.
Check Encode "Max # of concurrent sessions" colum on the link I provid above entry/mid Level cards only can have 2 encoding threads while the high end have Unrestricted.
My current Desktop is a Dell i7 6700 (does not have HEVC encoding) so I bought the Quadro P400
It's very real Nvidia limitations!
I will wait for 10Generation Intel desktop will be way better than current generation

There's a comparison using PD Power Director
And I will trash my Quadro P400 on eBay for 20$

Does anyone find a good solution yet?
My laptop (precision 5520) is equpped with both a integrated Intel HD630 and discrete Nvidia Quadro M1200. Using the trick circulating on the internet, i.e., display setting --> graphic setting --> browse --> adding PDR.exe --> Option picks High performace, Powerdirector 18 seems to use the discrete nvidia card for encoding/decoding. However, my test shows that 60-second video clip need nearly 2 minutes to finish using H.265 (1280x720p), when I switch back to the integrate HD630 card, it takes 23 seconds. I have tried nvidia driver as earlier as 2017 to the latest version, no difference.
I think powerdirector 18 is not taking advantage of the computation power of nvidia quadro M1200 at all. Earlier threads mentions it might be possible to import a separate PowerDirector profile into the Nvidia Control Panel, just like for Vegas Pro. But I don't know where to find this profile.

Thanks for your kind attention.
Sorry for the delay !
Surely this has something to do with nvidia policy regarding entry level Quadro cards.
Because like I said after boot SSD blew up and clean install of windows using Microsoft default driver for P400 CUDA was working in PD16, after I installed Nvidia recent drivers because I needed NVENC, CUDA option was off for PD
I came to the forum again to create another thread I was making a video with 8 tracks and using files connected with onedrive
was always blue screen dumping windows.
Because I was aware my all clips were on OneDrive (backup purpose) I tried closing OneDrive and puff the windows dumps and protected errors and sequencial reboot were gone.
Kind regards
