Can not enable hardware encoding with GTX 1080

[ediths23758511]

I bought a msi geforce gtx 1080 gaming x plus today.

Unfortunately I cannot activate hardware acceleration in Pr.

My system

i7 and 16 GB ram.

How can I solve the problem?

Here the result of the GPUSniffer:

This is a common misunderstanding.

You enable GPU use in the Project settings dialog, with the Mercury Acceleration options. With your GPU, like mine, it would be CUDA.

When you see the summary section lines of the Export Dialog referring to software or hardware encoding, those are NOT references to the GPU use at all. Those ONLY appear in H.264 encoding, and are set by whether or not your CPU has the Intel QuickSync hardware included and enabled in the BIOS.

If your CPU has QuickSync and it's enabled, then your Summary section will say "hardware encoding" for H.264 exports. If you don't have a QuickSync CPU, then it will show 'software encoding' for H.264 exports.

And again ... this doesn't have anything whatever to do with GPU use.

Thank you for the full explanation.

What I don't understand is why Adobe recommends GeForce 1080 on its homepage. And why doesn't Adobe mention the Intel QuickSync requirement?

Ok I will try your suggestion and see if it works.

It does say under Hardware Acceleration System Requirement:

Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements

[R Neil Haugen]

They recommend the 1080 because they're good cards. And Premiere uses them well, for anything Premiere uses the GPU for.

Again, the use of the GPU is set as Ann shows in the Project settings dialog. And is completely separate from the H.264-only encoding capabilities of Intel QuickSync CPUs.

Which ... again ... has nothing whatever to do with Premiere's use of the GPU.

Thanks for your Answers!

Where can I find the setting for "Intel Graphics enabeled" ?

[R Neil Haugen]

In the Preferences dialog, Media tab, near the bottom ...

It's already enabled

[ediths23758511]

And in Project settings I have joice hardware acceleration

[ediths23758511]

OK i have hardware accaleration enabled in prerferences. And in the project settings hardware acceleration is also enabled.

InViedoexport the field for hardware acceleration is still grayed out.

[Vinay Dwivedi]

Here is the requirement for it. It is only for Intel GPU.

Check Hardware acceleration system requirements in Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements

I can not use my geforce for rendering?

[MyerPj]

It's still used, just not as often as you hoped it would be.

The use of the GPU is different in every video editing/fx app.

Here's the list of what Premiere uses the GPU for ...
