As your computer uses NVIDIA you should also select that option

Others on the forum may be able to explain about Hardware encoder acceleration

I have a GTX 1080ti and a i7 9700k.
If I use Nvidia acceleration, Video studio crashes. Intel Quick Sync works good however.

[Choi seong chul]

I use Nvidia or Intel Quick sync video and there is no conflict
Quality is no different. So I wonder which of the two is good?
And their roles are curious.

[Ken Berry]

Yes, a lot of people also find them "curious". I happen to have an all-Intel NUC computer, which includes the Pro version of Intel graphics 650, so for me Intel Quick Sync is the way to go. But like many of our users, I've found that I often have to turn off hardware acceleration when VS encounters a rendering problem. That usually fixes things for me...

Hardware acceleration comes in 2 forms - Intel, and nvidia - and the latest VS version does not allow a combination: so it's one or the other.

As background:
Intel - since 2011 apparently there has been a video processor on every Intel cpu chip, to speed up this sort of processing. All the relevant software had to do was use it.
Nvidia - a wholly owned company of AmD. Comes in the form of a plug-in video display card, generally for the motherboard of desktops (there isn't space within a laptop, so unless the laptop design uses AmD chips from the outset, any advantage that may be apparent is illusory) - aimed at off-loading display processing for gamers, in the main, but also helpful for video editing and processing. The driver for the video card is designed so that the card cpu can be used as an assistant for the main cpu to help processing loads. Again, the application software has to be designed to use it, and the latest nvidia software is not always backwards compatible to all hardware. See the wikipedia article on this, search 'CUDA'.

So, the options and effects for hardware acceleration in VS might be summarised as:
- for an intel desktop, or laptop: choose the intel option, even with an nvidia display card available for the desktop. Much more likely to be beneficial as on-chip transfers are a lot faster than a bus transfer which is the way a display card works.
- for an AmD desktop (ie, a desktop PC built around a motherboard using an AmD cpu and chipsets): if you have an nvidia display card (nvidia has about 70% of the market for those items) installed, choose the nvidia option, and make sure the relevant display driver has been installed. If you don't have an nvidia display card, you would need to check the PC motherboard display chipset specs with nvidia, but hardware acceleration probably won't work for either of the options available since the necessary hardware platform just isn't there.
- for an Amd laptop: the integral display chipset may support an nvidia driver, but probably won't. You would need to check the chipset specs against the nvidia hardware listing.

Davidk. Thank you.
I haven't even had a good idea of hardware acceleration so far.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
In case of problems with VS, Corel recommended hardware acceleration.
So far, Intel Quick sync video was selected by default.
If you know that there is Nvidia in your choice, choose Nvidia and use it
I tried. I can't feel the difference between the two, and both are good.
I don't know if my Nvidia card supports hardware acceleration.

I don't know if my Nvidia card supports hardware acceleration.

Your Nvidia card should definitely support hardware acceleration. In fact, it is one of the most powerful cards out there in that regard. (I have an Nvidia GTX 1050, so I have card envy!) However, I've learned that different computers with different operating systems and different firmware deal with components and software differently. What might work in computer X may not work as well in computer Y. I suggest that you try something reasonably complex with the Nvidia 2080 card as the GPU, and see how that goes. On the right computer, you should be able to edit high-end 4K video with no bogging down, even with lots of overly tracks, titles and audio.

[Choi seong chul]

I have 4K video of either Nvidia or Intel Quick sync video
There is no problem with editing. I mainly edit 4K videos.
Choosing Nvidia feels a bit faster.
Can it be said that the Nvidia card supports hardware acceleration?

[Davidk]

The only way to be satisfied - one way or the other - is to test it. Whatever benefit you are likely to get will show up when the software is really working for a period, for example a render, something around 5-10 minutes.

I note that you have the options of both: an Intel cpu and an nvidia card.
So, choose a project file that you know works and do 3 tests with it. Time each one from the moment your press start until you get the success message box. Expect an mpg render to take longer than mp4, and 4k will take a lot more time than mp4. The important thing here is to do the same thing each time, except the acceleration options.
test 1: open VS, open the project file, set properties/hardware acceleration to none (not selected), choose Share, same as project properties, choose a file name eg test 1 and a folder, and press start. when success is announced, write the time taken down.
test 2: open VS, open the project file, set properties/hardware acceleration to ON (selected) and tick Intel, choose Share, same as project properties, choose a file name eg test 2 and a folder, and press start. when success is announced, write the time taken down.
test 3: open VS, open the project file, set properties/hardware acceleration to ON (selected) and tick nvidia, choose Share, same as project properties, choose a file name eg test 3 and a folder, and press start. when success is announced, write the time taken down.

Now you have some positive data to compare. Don't be surprised if the no acceleration test is in fact faster: as already noted, different PC hardware can get quite different results here. You may even find - as others have - that using acceleration gets render errors or crashes. If so, note that in your test result.

Davidk. thank you.
I understand this problem now.
Thank you.
