MOVIE EDIT PRO 2022 KEEP FREEZING AFTER INSTALLING A NEW GRAPHIC CARD

Former user wrote on 5/13/2022, 12:09 PM

@choplife Hi, reinstalling a program isn't always a good idea, it can cause problems, check your graphics drivers are up to date, try Geforce experience https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/geforce-experience/

There's some setting in the program settings, click Y on the screen.

Many thanks I have gone to the Geforce Experience what should I do ?

@choplife Have you installed it?

You'll get an app that you can open, at the top is Drivers - Check for updates

Thank you I have updated the driver restarted the computer and the Magix Movie Edit seems to be working fine. Should I enable the onboard graphic card? Does it had any effect with regard to fast rendering if both the onboard and the GTX 1660 cards are enable?

@choplife Hi, my old machine was an i7-7700 with a 1660 Super GPU, i turned on the onboard graphics & performance increased, but that was a while ago, I now have a more powerful pc with an AMD CPU so i have no onboard graphics, someone else will have to advise you on that, Good that your GPU is working tho 👍

Many thanks for your help 👍👍👍

Hi.

If you are running two monitors or have use of a headless ghost then there is no harm in enabling the Intel GPU as well as it will help out a bit more.

There are times when either playing back in the timeline or exporting when you will see the Intel GPU (and the processor) do more processing work than the nvidia card. Even when the vram is being used to its maximum. A lot will depend on the file types in use and the effects used.

It varies a lot from project to project or even clip to clip.

Thank bottom line is, is it advisable to enable it? Will it make my rendering and exporting faster if enable along with the Nvidia Card? I used one monitor to edit...

@choplife

There is no downside to enabling it but whether it speeds up an export or not is solely down to the content and effects used. To run two GPUs on one machine though you will need to fool the Intel GPU into thinking a monitor is connected. That is where a headless ghost is needed. Which type will depend on the motherboard display port type.

I think most of us that have the capability have it enabled.

Hi

. . . . . need to fool the Intel GPU into thinking a monitor is connected. That is where a headless ghost is needed . . . .

There are alterntive options depending on whether you have a single or dualmonitors:

Single monitor:- if it has more than one input, eg HDMI and VGA connect the spare to the motherboard video output using the appropriate cable/sockets, you may need to swap the GTX and motherboard cables if the motherboard output is restricted to one type of socket.

Dual monitor:- connect one of the monitors into the motherboard video out and the other to the GTX - this is how I work with my PC.

Greetings,

I only have one monitor.

On my new system I connect the monitor to the motherboard Intel socket and let the Nvidia 2060 look after itself.

When encoding with MEP I have the Nvidia set to carry out the import, processing and encoding in settings (in other words do all the work) and both GPUs are used for encoding - admittedly only tested so far for H.264 and HEVC.

When I first had the computer i plugged the monitor into the Nvidia. Using that output, the Intel GPU was not used and the encoding was (unscientifically tested) about 25% slower.

It's almost like the Intel drivers need to be turned on by being plugged in to something whereas the Nvidia drivers fire up anyway.

I suppose that's where the headless ghost comes in but I seem to get away with not needing one for some reason.

Hi Andy.

Interesting.

As I have always used two monitors I have only once tried a headless ghost for another reason but for some reason only tried plugging both monitors into the nvidia outputs and put the HG into the Intel port. Even that was an unsuccessful experiment for what I was trying to achieve at the time.

I will make a mental note of that. Thanks.

Ray.

Hi Andy

. . . . On my new system I connect the monitor to the motherboard Intel socket and let the Nvidia 2060 look after itself . . . .

That too works, the Intel iGPU is normally turned off when a 3rd party card is installed, however since Windows 10 the GPU used is controlled by Windows for VPX 12 and MEP 2021 and earlier versions running on Windows 10 that could use a Nvidia or AMD GPU could be scheduled to do so.

With MEP/MS 2022 and VPX 13 the GPU used for Importing, Processing and Exporting adds an extra benefit in that both the iGPU and GPU can be used in tandem. I have found that some effects and Titling appear to use the iGPU or CPU.

@me_again @johnebaker @choplife @Former user

I assume that plugging the monitor into the Intel GPU also frees up a little bit of processing power to the nvidia card as well.
