Question

No GPU acceleration in Media Encoder

Hi,

I’m currently testing the Media Encoder Beta and noticed an issue with GPU acceleration.

In the Beta version, the Renderer option is greyed out and locked to “Software Only”, so I can’t enable GPU acceleration.
In contrast, in the non-beta (stable) version, GPU acceleration works perfectly and is enabled as expected.

System details:

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti

I’ve already checked that my GPU drivers are up to date and that no other settings differ between the beta and non-beta installations.

Thanks in advance for any insights.
