For the life of me, I dont know why my GPU has never gone past 4% even with huge render projects. And I cant render export large GB projects.

    Hi Rob!

     

    What format are you exporting your timelapse in? Depending on the format, it's likely your GPU would be used for encoding the video during the export process. 

     

    Regards,

    Fergus

      Also, are you using the Studio driver?

      What are you expecting the GPU to do? I don't see in your response anything that would actually use the GPU as it's been specified to be used. Again, it is not just a general assistant for the CPU. It is a separate processing system.

        The GPU is never used as simply an assistant to the CPU. The coding has to get completely different. So some things are coded for GPU if available, many aren't.

         

        There is a list of the GPU Accelerated Effects that are run through the GPU. And some long-GOP rendering is also done *in certain cases* on specifically equipped GPUs.

         

        So what's your media, effects in use, and CPU and GPU?

        Just noticed I was using game driver. Now switching to studio driver.
