Question

Media Encoder Hardly using any resources

I work as a video-editor and finally got a decent (overkill) workstation.

Now when I render out my videos, I see my hardware is hardly being used.

Both CPU and GPU are running around 5-6% when rendering.

I know the PC is overkill but I expected a little more sweat or burning plastic while rendering my videos.

I have CUDA enabled.

 

Is there a way so that media encoder uses a bit more resources than it does right now?

 

Specs: 

Ryzen Threadripper 3970x 

RTX 2080ti

128 GB RAM

What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, and how full)?

Sorry for my late reply!

I render on various drives.

1 beign a m.2 drive

1 beign an SSD

1 beign an HDD

1 beign an External SSD connected through USB-C.

All have sufficient space left and I fail to beleive the problem is writing speed 🙂
