Red line above timeline - How to turn on accelerated GPU?

I'm having a problem with my new laptop that everytime I create a video I get a red line on the timeline. I then have to render the selection before I export it to media encoder. This takes enormous amounts of time. Then, when I create a video with my desktop I never get the redline. I now figured that it is because the GPU is not accelerated and there is no option to do so. I also tried the cudo card method where you put the name of the graphicscard in the file in your adobe directory, but there is no such a file... Any ideas?

Another thing to try is to upgrade your video driver directly from the manufacturer (NVidia). Sometimes a downgrade may help as well. Don't upgrade video drivers through Windows upgrade.

You don't have to render before you export. In fact, most often doing so is a waste of time. You won't get any benefit from doing it. You only need to render if you can't play back in real time while editing.

Not all hardware is capable of acceleration. What GPU are you using?
