X6 uses both my AMD and NVIDIA gpu's

Post by Kingston »

I wasn't expecting this. X6 is using both my AMD GPU graphics, shown in my signature, as well as a NVIDIA Geforce GT 610 in a PCIe slot.

In X5 the GT 610 was just going along for the ride not doing anything, but in X6 the NVIDIA performance monitor is showing lots of activity as is the AMD performance monitor. There is a 30 percent decrease in time to create a MPEG-4 HD h.264 1920x1080 video. The source video had same format, and had the Prodad Mercalli Stabilizer effect on it. If I disable the NVIDIA card, then X5 and X6 take about as long, with a slight advantage in X6.

My monitor is hooked up to the AMD graphics, and nothing is hooked up to the NVIDIA card.
