Premiere Pro 2021 using CPU instead of GPU with CUDA enabled

[Elvir5C4E]

Hello I have Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) enabled in project settings and hardware encoding for performance in encoding settings, but when I export it takes ~9 hours for a 30 minute 1080p video and in task manager the CPU is at around 90% and GPU is around 2%. Is there any solution for this?
Ive updated drivers and this issue is still present.
Computer Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600x
GeForce RTX 2060
16GB DDR4 Ram
512GB SSD

Are you using plugins? Try dissabling Nvenc and see what happens.

i dont believe im using any plugins , I tried doing software encoding instead of hardware and its the same time around ~9 hours. (I believe this is what u meant by dissabling Nvec)

Not everything uses CUDA - and other hardware acceleration notes

Also be sure you have an up to date driver for your 2060

Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
-for Premiere Pro and MAYBE Premiere Elements use the STUDIO driver, not the GAMING driver
-such as (this MAY not be the latest) https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/170344/
If you have a laptop you MAY also need to check for a laptop specific nVidia driver

There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version

I downloaded the studio drivers and it didnt seem to change anything

What format/codec are you exporting to?

As noted by John, a lot of things don't use the GPU ... so do you have any color effects, Warp, or any resizing going? If not, then you may not be doing anything that uses the GPU.

Im using H.264 and Youtube 1080p Full HD preset

And do you have any of the effects I asked about in use on that sequence? As if you don't, there won't be a lot of GPU use for many CPU/GPU combinations.

H.264 "long-GOP" encodes are one of the nastier things to sort out. Depending on the CPU and the GPU, the effectiveness, or even availability, of 'hardware encoding' is all over the map.

And do understand ... "hardware encoding" in the Summary section of the Export dialog for an H.264 export doesn't have anything at all to do with standard PrPro GPU use, set in the Project settings dialog Mercury Acceleration setting.

Different "hardware encoding" processes.
