All,Hardware acceleration means much faster compression and conversion in DVDFab. Recent improvements have made it even better for more users thanks to new updates to include new abilities for users of AMD GPU video cards, effective with DVDFab v10.0.3.7 Beta. Please see below for details.Information for the Nvidia CUDA and Intel QuickSync (IQS) sections is being updated as well.[SIZE=3][U]Nvidia CUDA[/U][SIZE=2]We will begin with Nvidia CUDA, the GPU acceleration most widely used by DVDFab customers.To be able to understand the following information you should find out a number for your GPU called the Compute Capability or cap value which is available from Nvidia here.[/SIZE][/SIZE]1. CUDA H264:If your GPU's CUDA cap number isLess than 3.0you can get encode+decode support by installing the version 337.88 driver, which is available from Nvidia here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/75991you can use a newer driver but support will be for decode onlyget more details here: http://forum.dvdfab.cn/showthread.php?t=25674Greater than 3.0install the newest driver for encode+decode support and select CUDA in DVDFab Common Settings2. CUDA H265If your GPU's CUDA cap number is at least 3.0 but less than 5.0use current driver, but support is decode only for Windows 7, 8, 8.1. No support for Windows 10 presently.5.2 or greateruse current driver, encode+decode support for 950, 960, 970, 980, 1070 and 1080 and the corresponding M versions of these cards. Due to lack of support in current Nvidia SDK and driver, Win10 currently supports only encode for 970 and 980, but supports decode+encode for 950, 960, 1070 and 1080 cards.

The selection of using AMD APP for decoding and/or encoding is made on the AV Codec page in Common Settings as it is for CUDA and IQS. If for some reason your selection is not supported, DVDFab will provide a message to inform you. Remember that all hardware drivers are sensitive to the OS version and updates for it that you have installed, so check to see if your OS is updated and stable and if the problem persists,start anew thread about it or look through the forum to see if other users have experienced it or found a solution. Before you post about your problem or contact email support, please download and run the AMDCheck utility and supply that result and the FabCheck logfile by attaching it to your post or the email that you send to the Support Team in Beijing.AMD hardware acceleration will provide you with much improved speed compared with the Software setting with great video quality.************************************************** ****This information is current as of 6 May 2017 with DVDFab v10.0.3.7 Beta and may be updated from time to time.

Nvidia or Intel Graphics performance Wondering what would provide better performance for encoding and decoding. Considering the Intel CPU 6th Generation Skylake CPU with Intel HD Graphics 530 and wondering if using DVDFab CUDA configuration with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 GAMING 2G GDDR5 DVI/HDMI/3DisplayPort pci-e card would out perform the CPU built in graphics when using DVDFab? which one is better and by how much (2 times, 1.5 times faster?). Thanks

There are users here with both. You are unlikely to see that much difference in speed, both will be very good. The Skylake will improve other things in addition to conversions.

Thank you- One clarification I'm building a new system --so if I read your post correctly I can save some money by using the Skylake and its graphics processing and save the money by NOT purchasing the separate NVIDIA graphics card, correct? Also, any other hardware recommendations you would have that would improve performance with DVDFab would be appreciated.

We have quite a few roll-your-own experts here that have made rigs with astounding results, I'll let them respond with some tips. For a full discussion, please start a new thread, this one in dedicated to IQS and CUDA updates.

Geforce GTX 1070 With the latest Version of Nvidia Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Version: 10.18.13.6881 (368.81) i become the message that CUDA HEVC Devoder not supported but the encode Speed ist fantastic over 670fps with a Blu-Ray Image

Thanks for the feedback, you must be on Win10, where only encode is supported currently, see post #1 in this thread.

Yes you are right I use Windows 10 latest Version, but in the first Articel with the red Text marked stands for the GTX1070decode + encode. But for me is not so important to decode Films with it. Encode Speed rules

I could confirm this. In Windows 10 Anniversary Update with latest Geforce Drivers it is not possible to activate Hardware Decoding in HEVC.I had brand new Geforce GTX 1060.Before this, with Geforce GTX960 Hardware Decoding HEVC was not a problem.But me, it's very important to have GPU Support to decode HEVC (H.265). ;)Would it be possible in near future ?!

I think they are waiting for a driver update from nvidia. Decode support will be added ASAP:).

I've added an HDD that boots to Windows 7 Pro with a quick BIOS tweak and H265 decode is supported on my 980 card. Maybe something for the interim.

Thanks october262...I did see that.
My 1st choice...newegg had decent prices, but was out of stock for both the 2GB & 4GB.

I think I'll bite the bullet and just do a new build. I'm just being a lazy old fart.
My last build was the Fall of '09 with the retail release of win 7 pro...:rolleyes::D

[QUOTE=CDRMaker;192235]Alright!

I installed the $99 ZOTAC GTX 1050 MINI and my H265 FPS went from
about 37FPS Software to 470FPS CUDA Hardware. I haven't noticed a difference in quality between 1 pass software and the 1 pass CUDA on about 5 Blu-ray Rips I've done yet!!! VERY HAPPY![/QUOTE]

I'm new to this and I have to ask, how are you getting such a high fps in h265? I have a geforce 1060 and am using hardware acceleration. I'm seeing about 60fps right now. What am I missing?

-Speeds do seem to creep up as I go. Now at 82. Still far short of 470.

martythebrit

Good question... Which CPU do you have and how much system memory? Is CUDA selected in DVDFab options? Do have the latest driver from Nvidia?

martythebrit

Also... are you converting to x265 straight from the disk or copying the disk to the hard drive first?

All,
Post #1 in this thread has been updated for AMD APP.

Why can't dvdfab use the intel quicksync without an attached monitor?

Hi,

I have a Kaby-Lake CPU and a Nvidia 1060 card and I can activate the intel card in the bios settings. I have different video edit software which can use the intel quicksnyc in this setting, but only DVD Fab does not find it.

It works only in DVD Fab when I attach a monitor to the intel GPU.

A bit complicated. Why can other video software use the intel accleration in this setting?

Thanks in adavance,
-dave

The quick sync is part of the motherboard in hardware so you need to plug the monitor into it to see and use it.

3dman

Quick Sync is a dedicated hardware core on the processor die in hardware so you need to plug the monitor into it's motherboard to see and use it.
Graphics Chipset :
Note: To enable Intel Quick Sync technology, you must switch to Intel HD Graphics.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Driver Version: 22.21.13.8253

Other mp4 encoder I use can use the bios activated intel quick sync without an monitor connected to the intel gpu.
-> Why can't dvdfab do that?

No Cuda on 2 Pass High Quality Rip

Just wondering why I can't use Cuda on 2 Pass ripping with my Windows 10 pc with an Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb video card?

As soon as I choose 2 Pass High Quality under H265 MKV Default Profile, DVDFab tells me it will use Software Only.
It will use Cuda if I choose 1 Pass but I prefer the quality that 2 Pass gives me.

My GPU's Cuda Cap number is 6.1 which is above the 5.0 required for H265.

Though I don't see the GTX 1060 listed in the first post.
Is this card not supported yet?
Or am I missing some setting?

FQs19,
Your 1060 should be fully supported with the correct driver. You need to supply the DVDFab internal log session and the FabCheck log so we can see what is going on here. Please isolate these sessions and attach them to a post. Instructions linked in my sig, below.

signals

Update: 2-pass is not supported for encoding h264 or 265 with CUDA.

Strange since 3dman7 says earlier that he was able to get 2 Pass Cuda working but with a bug or maybe he meant that a bug allowed him to do a 2 Pass Cuda.

Either way, do you know if DVDFab will ever support 2 Pass Cuda ripping?

signals

My information comes direct from Beijing as of today. The future of this is not currently known, they may be waiting for a driver or SDK update from nvidia. I personally don't use 2-pass any longer.

Thanks for the information.

The bug and the log files show it also.

Looks more like the CPU is doing all the work, not the GPU. FQs19, follow the advice you choose. This has gone on long enough.

Sorry, the Thread is Closed

But is there a current list of graphics cards that support H265 MKV...
has improved a bit in the situation of Win10 and graphics cards
