Downloaded latest driver for 960M - 355 I think...

Windows site says I have a custom Acer driver for my HD4600 and need to get driver from them

Acer says my HD4600 driver is the newest even though it's over 1 yr old..

Ran SFC - no issues found.......Here's the kicker

No I have NO fast video/HA available at all for any profile!.....I have no gone backwards...

Open to ideas?....thx

My guess is you are oscillating between the onboard HD4600 and your Nvidia and that creates your observation with HA encoding. Currently you are probably using windows drivers hence no HA that you observe. The Acer VN7-791G manuals I’ve found indicate they run Nvidia Optimus technology, have you customized Optimus for the PD14 executable to always use the High performance Nvidia processor? I'd caution against simply loading any graphic driver, most laptops use OEM custom modified drivers and often flag/reject/caution when trying to load vender drivers. I'd visit Acer and make sure you are current with what they recommend for your laptop as a starting point.

Ok...we have a winner!

Looks like when I updated the graphic driver it re-set the default card to the HD4600 for PD13. It was set to the Nvidia prior.

So I've been rendering mp4 after mp4 with all sorts of effects applied to the same clip and no issues.

First off thanks to everybody for their help, second is there some sort of post after fixing an issue?
