Do I have to enable Cuda cores in dvdfab

[rdefino]

I just installed a video card that has cuda cores. Do I need to tell dvdfab that the cores are there, or will it just use them when encoding?

thanks

It should use them all you can check this in Fab settings.

So is not compatible: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295


I know it only has 8 cuda cores, but what cards are compatible. I'm looking for an inexpensive card to use for encoding.

Thanks for any info.

When i say Fab should use all cores i mean computer cores not cuda cores.A card with 8 cuda cores is useless throw it out mine has 96 cuda cores and is slow.You get what you pay for.How old's that computer? when Fab uses cuda it uses all its cores but you can set fab to use less processor power(cores) and memory but that slows things down.My 2 core computer with 96 core cuda card is considered slow for this kind of work (video trans coding) it works but it's slow some say very slow because they use 8 core computers they are very fast and 4 core computers ok for this type work.Using cuda speeds things up a lot, more cores the better.If money is a issue you can buy used cards try ebay.

Card was free. I need a new one. Will any nvida card work as long as it has many, many cuda cores.

My processor is a six core.

Thanks

★ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 and above is recommended for blu ray copy but that's minium best cards cost more best value is a good used card.Your 6 core computer will be fine for this work.

Just from reading what others say about CUDA obviously the more cores the better and most agree that you need a GTX 570 or better to see a significant speed increase. I don't use NVIDIA so take it for what it's worth.

[glenns]

This card the 570 has 480 cuda cores here's the specs http://www3.pny.com/font-color999999...P2954C396.aspx

Don't forget the power supply needed i believe it's 600 watts or better so check the spec's out.

Before you spend money on a new GPU, which CPU do you have and how much memory?

[rdefino]

I have an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor, 3.2gh, 6 core.

16gb of ram.

This system doubles as a virtual server, but only when booted from and other drive.

I run dvdfab in a win7 64 os and boot to that when needed. Not running under virtual.

if you want speed go for a better CPU.
Cuda works good with with V9072 setting CUDA + LIGHTING SHRINK.
GTX 570 or highter is the way to go.
