Question

Getting the Best from my GPU

Hello all,

I recently upgraded my PC by installing an MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming Z TRIO 12GB OC GPU.

I believed this installation would reduce my video encoding/exporting times on Adobe Premiere Pro and reduce my video rendering times and lag on Adobe After Effects. However, I have seen no difference at all.

My Premiere Pro settings are set to use GPU accelerated rendering and playback.

I'm wondering if anybody could give me advice on the best possible settings across Premiere Pro and After Effects to ensure my GPU is being maximised? Only registering 1% utilisation when I enter the encoding/exporting/rendering process.

OR somebody may have an explanation as to why I may not be seeing any benefits.

Thank you,

George

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

I have noticed sometimes Nvenc and Quick Sync encoding and decoding can stop working for no reason. You could do benchmakrs between Quick Sync and Nvenc as seen in the video below. That being said try adding several layers with effects and see if the GPU reaches 80%.

1 - Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
-for Premiere Pro use the STUDIO driver, not the GAMING driver
-such as (this MAY not be the latest) https://www.nvidia.in/Download/driverResults.aspx/177929/en-in

2 - Not everything uses CUDA - and other hardware acceleration notes
