How to Use GPU Acceleration on Windows
Unlocking the full power of your GPU with VideoProc Converter AI is effortless. The software automatically checks your GPU/CPU information of NVIDIA/AMD GPU/Intel, and fully utilizes Hardware Acceleration for video encoding, decoding, editing, and rendering. There is no need to worry about settings - hardware acceleration is seamlessly managed for you. Simply follow the guide below to get started:
Step 1Enable hardware acceleration.
When installing and using VideoProc Converter AI, it will automatically check your hardware condition. You don't have to do anything about it.
Important Note: If you see gray dashes next to certain items, for example, the two gray dashes next the 4K options in the diagram above, don't worry. This simply means your computer cannot use GPU acceleration for decoding 4K videos. However, VideoProc Converter AI will still process your 4K videos smoothly using CPU power.
VideoProc Converter AI is a great way to check the condition, availability, and usability of your CPU/GPU on your Mac or PC. And you can know specifically about the Level, Encoder, Decoder abilities of your CPU/GPU for H264 and HEVC video processing.
There are other ways you can recheck your hardware information in VideoProc Converter AI:
1. Go to 'Settings' interface of VideoProc Converter AI, under General, tick 'Nvidia / Intel / AMD' of 'Hardware Acceleration Engine'. Then click on the blue 'Option' button and recheck your hardware information.
2. Go to 'Video Converter' or 'DVD' interface, tick 'Nvidia / Intel / AMD' of 'Hardware Acceleration Engine' on the right, and click on the blue 'Option' button to recheck your hardware information
Step 2 Choose a feature.
On the home interface of VideoProc Converter AI, choose a module, such as 'Super Resolution' and 'Video Converter'. You can enjoy any features and make any other settings provided by the software. Just import your source media file(s) from your local computer, and proceed.
Step 3 Start running.
Click the RUN button to start the intelligent and fully hardware-accelerated video encoding, decoding and process. Soon you'll get the result file.
FAQ
1. What's the minimum requirement to use hardware acceleration in VideoProc Converter AI?
If your computer has a proper hardware, VideoProc Converter AI can invoke it for hardware acceleration. The requirement for GPU acceleration is low:
- NVIDIA: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 or higher
- Intel: Intel HD Graphics 2000 or higher
- AMD: AMD Radeon HD 7700 series (VCE 1.0) or higher
2. Why is hardware acceleration not working on my computer?
Make sure you have downloaded the right version of VideoProc Converter AI on your computer.
- Download 64-bit for Windows: Optimized for 64-bit systems, ensuring optimal performance on graphics drivers newer than the version of Sep.2020.
- VideoProc Converter AI for 32-bit: Suitable for 32-bit systems, as well as PCs with graphics drivers older than the version of Sep.2020.
- Download for macOS: It can run on 32-bit and 64 bit Macs. AI features for the Mac version are not currently available but will be coming soon.
Make sure your graphic driver is up-to-date.
- For non-AI features: Make sure the graphics card on your computer is newer than CUDA 11.0 and has been updated after September 2020 (Learn how to update your graphic driver >).
- For AI features: You need to keep the drivers updated with support for Vulkan (Vulkan ≥ 1.2.x) and OpenCL APIs (OpenCL ≥ 1.0) (Learn how to make your GPU ready for AI >).
