Premiere Pro not using Dedicated GPU.

Premiere Pro is not using my Dedicated Graphics card: GTX 1080 6GB. It is using the CPU and my internal GPU, even if I set all the settings to use the GTX and add the card to cudasupportedcards.txt.

I have a GTX 1080 ti & Ryzen 2700x.
GPU & CPU utilization seems very poor.
If hardware isnt working at 100%, the software should just throw more frames at it to crunch per second until hardware is maxed.

Same! I have GTX 1660 Ti but I cannot use GPU acceleration as a renderer. All black screen

I can't set my GTX1060 instead of integrated intel graphics - BS!

Even the latest version, 13.1, hasn't fixed the problem.

I just posted a new topic about this, since it looks like this one is getting buried and there has been no official word from Adobe on the matter, as far as I'm aware.

Yes, same issue here - Intel 9900K and RTX 2070 but if I don't disable the Intel GPU in the bios my exports are being throttled by the iGPU reaching 100% usage (didn't matter if I rendered using hardware or software, or even Voukoder and with or without disabling accelerated hardware decoding).

Premiere is clearly preferring the GPU 0 Intel chip. Needs fixing ASAP!!

Check out , "[Hardware Forum] Premiere Pro using Integrated and not Dedicated Graphics Card".

I have been working with Adobe on this. They have confirmed the problem that Premiere Pro CC uses GPU 0 before GPU 1. They have submitted a request to engineering to offer a choice of which GPU to use in "Project Settings".
