Rendering - Mercury Software vs CUDA

[deejayzen]

Rendering with Mercury Software only is way faster than CUDA in Media encoder. What could probably the reason ?

System Build :

i7 8700k

64 gb ram

1080ti gtx

2 tb NVME ssd

Im very confused. i just noticed this , after hearing something from another friend who also facing the same .

More things are accelerated with Mercury than with CUDA. The actual speed difference depends entirely on what you are doing in your comp. Without complete workflow details, and I do mean complete, a more specific answer than that is only a guess.

Hi deejayzen,

I understand your concern and thanks for sharing the system details. The video renderer used to process the edit(playback or export) is dependent on the project's complexity and the export settings.

• Are you exporting any After Effects/Premiere Pro projects or transcoding a file from AME?
• Do you get the same performance for all the projects/files?
• As @Rick Gerard mentioned, it is important to know the workflow that you have used. Could you share some more details?

We're here to help.

Thanks,

Shivangi
