Hi Ryan, I know you have been replied with many suggestion but what I believe your question is still unanswered. To enable GPU on Premiere Pro you have to follow 4 simple steps. (1) First of all change the Renderer on Premiere Pro, Media Encoder and After Effects and then close all the Adobe apps (creative cloud would be fine if running but close Premiere, Photoshop and such other apps). (2) Disable Intel on-board GPU in "Device Manager" (If your motherboard has an on-board GPU like Intel HD Graphics) . Search for "Device Manager" in start menu, navigate to your on-board GPU, right click on it and select Disable device and click yes on the pop-up received. (3) Go to the installation director which is like "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017" (based on your installation architecture x86 or x64. For my example its on x64 installation) and look for the file "GPUSniffer.exe". (3) Run "GPUSniffer.exe" as an administrator and it's done. Repeat the same for Media Encoder and all other Adobe installations where you find the GPUSniffer file. Now you can select the Rendered back to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) and would be able to get GPU usage while rendering or exporting the video. Just as a suggestion when your GPU is of much higher quality to that of your CPU, there are chances of higher CPU consumption percentage as compared GPU consumption and this is why it is recommended to have both the things at par to get the optimum result of your system. Other than that always run all the resource hungry apps as administrator. By doing so you would face lesser number of issues and/or face under-performance of your system. Thanks, Aviral
