graphic card not used anymore - weyb06 - 30.01.2019

Hello,

Hybrid used my Nvidia graphic card without any problem since the autumn, also with the 2018.11.11.1 version.
I upgraded to the 2019.1.6 version yesterday, all personal parameters seem to have been kept (fe. global profiles), but now the graphic card is not used anymore Sad 

I didn't modify anything (as I created a global profiles with NVEnc video encoder, I'm still using it).
i rebooted, but the problem remains.

Could you help me, please ?
What do you need ? a level 4 log would be enough ?

regards

Hybrid updates NVEncC and calls it using:
NVEncC --check-features
to see which features are supported by the driver&gpu combination.
What does that call report for you?

i precise that i just upgraded Hybrid & did nothing else...

looks fine, try clearing the tools cache (Config->Tools->Clear all cached tool infos)

RE: graphic card not used anymore - weyb06 - 30.01.2019

sorry, but it is the same :-(
my CPU is used at 100%

regards

RE: graphic card not used anymore - Selur - 30.01.2019

You did use an encoder which actually uses the VPU like NVEncC right?
x264&Co don't really use your graphic card.

RE: graphic card not used anymore - weyb06 - 30.01.2019

i used "NVEnc> base>codec = h265"

[NVEnc --y4m -i - --fps 25.000 --codec h265 --profile main --level auto --sar 1:1 --lookahead 16 --cqp 29 --gop-len 0 --bframes 0 --ref 3 --mv-precision Q-pel --cu-max 32 --cu-min 8 --preset default --colormatrix bt709 --keyfile GENERATED_KEY_FILE --output "C:\temp\MAX LINDER BD_NVEnc_cqp29.265"]

EDIT : when loading a mkv file, the GC seems to be used !!!
EDIT 2 : no, i tested with a longer video, and i can see that it's my CPU which is used :-(

RE: graphic card not used anymore - Selur - 30.01.2019

Looking at you command line, VPU is only used for encoding, not for filtering&decoding.
Depending on your setup decoding&filtering might already tax your CPU enough to slow the rest down.

Assuming your source is decodeable by your vpu and you don't need Vapoursynth or Avisynth filtering, you could enable: "NVEnc->Filtering->Only use encoder"

RE: graphic card not used anymore - weyb06 - 31.01.2019

Hello,

i configured Hybrid "from scratch" without loading any profile, and added "NVEnc->Filtering->Only use encoder", so the cmd line is :

NVEnc --avhw native -i -INPUT- --fps 25.000 --codec h265 --profile main --level auto --sar 1:1 --lookahead 16 --cqp 29 --gop-len 0 --bframes 0 --ref 3 --mv-precision Q-pel --cu-max 32 --cu-min 8 --preset default --colormatrix bt709 --vpp-resize default --output-res 1920x1080 --vpp-gauss disabled --keyfile GENERATED_KEY_FILE --output "C:\temp\MAX LINDER BD.265"


but it crashed :-(

would you like a level 4 log ?

regards

RE: graphic card not used anymore - Selur - 31.01.2019

Wild guess: It crashed because your VPU can't decode the source you used.
Debug output should show the exact error message,...
