Question

My Media Encoder Does not use GPU

Something is there I've been concerned about 

My PC is configured with Ryzen 5500 and GPU is Intel Arc A380 and 16GB RAM

Whenever I export my video,encoder barely uses my gpu

And it takes too much time to export since I use the stock cooler in my cpu

The first one takes maybe 3mins to be rendered but next ones gets really laggy

What should I do? Is there any settings that I have to configure so it can use my GPU?

I have already selected Mercury Playback Engine OpenGL

First thing to find out is if you have anything on the sequence that Premiere would use the GPU for. They're not used simply as another processor, but coded for specific things. When those are happening, the GPU is used. When they're not, it isn't.

 

So you can check the help for the GPU Accelerated Effects list ... such things as Warp, Lumetri, some other effects, major resizing. As again, if you don't have those, the GPU may not be used much.

This isn't a good answer. Even when I have ZERO effects on any of my H.264 clips, Premiere still shows it uses my RTX gpu from 60% to 100% utilization. When I render the exact same sequence in Media Encoder, it uses less than 20% of the gpu.

From the little information you've provided i can only guess. Better data, better answers.
