Hi,
I've an issue with CC 2019. When I export a h.264 video, in the encoding options->performance there is "software only" with no other options.
- I've enabled CUDA acceleration in the project settings
- in the NVdia control panel i've enabled the CUDA settings in the specific software (Premiere and Media Encoder)
- in Media Encoder I selected the CUDA option
- the OS/Drivers/Premiere are up to date
- OS is fresh. I formatted tonight because I had another issue with premiere pro.
but, the GPU remains in idle, only CPU burns.
Can you help me?
Thanks
My PC:
i7 3770K 4.6ghz
16GB DDR3 2400mhz
1080Ti
Win 10 PRO 1809 with all updates
CC 2019 updated to 13.0.3 build 9, the latest
Driver 419.35
There's two completely different issues here.
The first is a CPU issue. Even though the i7 3770K officially has QuickSync 'available', in showing the software only in the Summary section it means that either Pr isn't recognizing that Quicksync is available and operable ... or your computer isn't. I don't know what you have set in your Pr's Preferences for H.264 encoding, but go check to make sure you have that set to enable hardware encoding.
Next ... the GPU is NOT at all linked to the "software

How much VRAM on the 1080Ti?

Next ... the GPU is NOT at all linked to the "software encoding" in the summary section of the Export dialog. That is purely about Intel's QuickSync being 1) available on the CPU and 2) used.
If you are just doing a "straight" export without frame-size changes going on, no color say Lumetri or stuff like Warp, then the GPU won't be used much by Pr to begin with. Here's a link to the GPU Accelerated Effects list. What is on here gets GPU use, what isn't ... doesn't.

H264 hardware acceleration is enabled in the preference settings. I would like to cut and downsize (4K to FHD) a simple clip in h264. In this case the GPU is useless and it doesn't contribute at all in the exporting phase?
1) I cleaned the video driver with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and I installed a cleaned version of 419.35, but the GPU remains in idle.
2) I tried to create a new project but the issue remains
3) I tried to change to "software only" and then in "cuda" as suggested in the FAQs, but the GPU remains in indle.
I'll try to downgrade to 416.78

Yes, downgrade and report back. I'm running 416.78. It's running both the current an upcoming version of Premiere Pro perfectly, as well.

Now seems to works well! The rendering time is halved even though the GPU remains in idle in task manager. 20min -> 9min with the same settings!
Steps:
1) Download 416.81 (I have not found 416.78) from here https://www.nvidia.com/drivers/beta
2) Go offline
3) Use Display Driver Uninstaller
4) Restart PC
5) Install the Nvidia Driver 416.81
6) Restart PC
7) Launch PP and now the rendering time is halved
The "software only remains"

I do not believe the GPU is doing any significant work in that case ... Kevin could confirm, though.

Hi Korra88,
Sorry about your issue. I'm running an earlier driver, 416.78 and it's running great on the most recent version of Premiere Pro. Can you try rolling back? Another thing you could try is a "clean reinstallation" of those GPU drivers: FAQ: Why is my GPU not available for Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration?
Thanks,
Kevin

Although Neil has the "correct" answer, I would like to add that the integrated Intel HD graphics MUST be enabled in order for the hardware H.264 acceleration to work at all. If you have the integrated on-CPU Intel graphics disabled, or if your Intel CPU lacks integrated graphics whatsoever, or if you're using any AMD CPU, you cannot have hardware acceleration at all because Adobe neither officially supports nor includes a hardware encoder specifically for NVIDIA GPUs, which is REQUIRED for the GPU to even accelerate H.264 encodes at all.

Yes, my HD graphic card is disabled. I'll try to enable it.

I enabled my HD 4000 and now it's possible to select "hardware accelerated" option. The rendering time now is 8min instead of 20

Hi Korea, how do you enable the HD4000?

Sorry, Patrick, but you posted to a thread that had sat dormant for over two years. Intel had officially ceased all support for the 3rd-Gen CPUs (that means all models with the HD Graphics 4000 and HD Graphics 2500) in late 2020. The very last security-patched driver release for the Ivy Bridge CPUs was made available in October 2020. No further security patches will be made to these 3rd-Gen CPUs after October 2020 - ever.
Security patches, however, will continue for the 4th-Gen (Haswell) and 5th-Gen (Broadwell) CPUs until a future date to be determined; the most recent security patch came out this past February. Unfortunately, you cannot install this driver on your system at all.

sooooo, I updated the GPU driver with the latest 419.35 with a clean installation (as previously), but now everything works well. I don't know why this time it works, but doesn't matter
Thanks for all your support
