Hardware encoding impossible for no apparent reason

@R Neil Haugen Basically, I took a KF so as not to be bothered by a GPU processor used by default for certain applications or an OS that doesn't manage it properly.

Okay, thanks for following up.

I made screenshots of “general” and “media”, then also of the xxx concerning the hardware

@RjL190365 Hardware encoding is blocked with or without Maximum Render Quality. I have the impression that no matter what the settings, hardware encoding remains blocked, as if the hardware were incompatible or poorly supported, even though the hardware is no more than 4 years old. I also updated the latest Nvidia Studio drivers when I saw that it wasn't working, but it doesn't change anything.

Is it possible that selecting "Maximum render quality" might have forced everything – encoding and rendering - into the software-only mode, using the CPU only (no GPU hardware acceleration at all)?

Yes, but it reacts the same way. I've also tried other files with different codecs, but it does the same thing.
I've looked at the GPUSniffer file, but I don't see anything that would block as far as I know.

I've tried raising it to the maximum, lowering it or not restricting it, but it doesn't change a thing 🤔 🤔

Raise the Level: that might do the trick.

Thanks @Sumeet Kumar Choubey !
Here are the parameters
