Media encode only showing OPENCL no CUDA for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

Hi,

 

 I am using Media Encoder to do some Encoding on H.264 videos.  Basically exporitng some cartoons from Character Animator to Media Encoder for encoding.

 

I found that when i try to select GPU acceleration, I only get the OpenCL option.  Not the CUDA option (which is better).

 

Why is that ? I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, which should for all practical purposes uses NVIDIAs proprietary technology.

 

What do I need to do  to make it use CUDA instead of OPENCL .

 

Thanks

I am updating my NVIDIA Studio driver to the October 2020 release, from the 2018 version.  It did spcify that it supports my video card. So keeping fingers crossed that it updates without any issues. Thanks for the assist. I appreciate it.
