I have an nVidia GeForce 9800GT graphics card which DVDFab recognizes in the setup menu and says in the monitor window while compressing that it is CUDA active both for encoding and decoding. The process is slow and my dual core CPU's are pegged at 100%. Monitoring software such as GPU-Z and nVidia system monitoring software read 0% (zero) GPU useage while processing. This implies DVDFab is not using CUDA acceleration even though it indicates it is compatible and enabled. I continue to be perplexed by DVDFab's implementation of CUDA acceleration. GPU acceleration works wonderfully with this card in other applications. What monitoring software are other using to verify DVDFab's useage of CUDA acceleration?

@drobo
Please do following:
(1) update your card driver by search and download from nVIDIA site, not Microsoft site.
(2) go to nVIDIA control panel and (a) disable PhysX (b) set card as single-GPU
(3) shut down all background processes, especially AV, Firewall and (yea!!!!) GPU Monitor.
I know only know one that's tested and not interfering with CUDA process (and if you have W7 OS... it's a gadget). You can take it from my share folder here:
GPU monitors you using are designed to monitor GPU during play of graphic-intense games, and they are very sloppy on gathering info from card. CUDA is too fragile process for them.
If you download and install this monitor, remember it can't monitor two GPUs in one instance - you have to open two instances, set one for each GPU, and run them simultaneously.sigpic

FYI--
GPU-Z works great for me when using CUDA, no conflicts/hiccups.Supplying DVDFab Logs in the Forum ...........................User Manual PDF for DVDFab v11................................ Guide: Using Images in Posts

what card do you have. It's really upsets my GTX295, but the other one works. I have talk to CUDA developers @ another company, close to nVIDIA, they were opened my eyes on few CUDA-related things.sigpic

I have the latest nVidia driver release already. I turned Physx processing to CPU in the nVidia control panel. I disabled AVG antivirus and Windows firewall. Only one GPU is present in nVidia control panel. I installed the suggested GPU Monitor gadget. DVDFab is running, extremely slow, and the monitor shows 0% GPU Load, 0% Vmem used. It just does not work.Comment

I am using GPU-Z v0.4.3 and my card is a GT-230M both on Win7Pro/64. I use it mainly to keep an eye on the GPU temp due to the notebook environment. I have used it with BD->Mobile and BD->BD9/1080 conversions, usually encode only on the GPU, but no glitches.Originally posted by IPopov50 View PostSupplying DVDFab Logs in the Forum ...........................User Manual PDF for DVDFab v11................................

Correction update
It does work but I have not found a GPU monitor app that can read my GeForce 9800 GT card and deliver GPU load data. GPU-Z, GPU Monitor, and nVidia system monitor all read 0% GPU load and 0% memory useage.Comment

"evga precision" will work w/ all newer nvidia cards. it will show you gpu usage, temps, and fans, etc. I use as a fan control at startup.AMD Phenom II X2 550 Callisto unlocked to 4 core Denab @ 3.8mhz, MSI 785GM-E65 M/B, 4 Gig Geil DDR3-1333, EVGA GTX-260 192 Core, Corsair 700 W power, LG-BHO8LS20, LG-GH22LS50, IHOS104 DRIVES, 750 WDC Caviar Green, Hitachi 500, 2 TB WDC Caviar Green, SATA HD Drives, ASUS Xonar Essence SXT Sound, 2 Samsung SYNC 2333'S, Windows Vista 32 Buisness Edition.Comment

@srb01
Cool, it works. Thanks. Wow, this looks like more than a GPU monitor. It's a GPU overclocking application. This could be sublime or dangerous.Comment

What are your readings when converting? What GPU use, etc.Originally posted by drobo View Postsigpic

It looks like it running only 30% average when processing. I thought it would be more but I have no experience with what GPU useage is optimal.Comment

I have same thing on Core2Duo machine with CPU load around 100%. On i7 machine however, I have only 70% load on CPU and 98% load on GPU 330M (it's a laptop) and, as expected twice in speed.Originally posted by drobo View Post
Number of tests, experiments, reading reviews and communications on other forums lead me to believe that Core2Duo is just simply not powerful enough to keep high load on GPU (CUDA script is complicated enough, believe me).
So, this is my conclusion without going into greater detail.sigpic
