Slow Export - No Hardware Encoding

Hi,

I have been using Magix video pro for a number of years. I recently had to restore my system (the kind of restore where it uninstalls all programs but leaves personal files), and then re-install Magix Video Pro.

The export now seems much slower than it used to be. I have also noticed a 'No Hardware Encoding' sign when I export.

I have the following specs:

Intel i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401mhz 4 core

16GB Ram

64-bit

Graphics: NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

I have searched for this topic on this forum and tried various things including updating my drivers and selecting 'use hardware encoding' from program settings. But it doesnt seem to work.

I've attached a few screenshots of my setup and problem.

I entered into my BIOS and switching 'Integrated video' to enabled.
This has worked. The Intel card is now showing and I am able to use hardware encoding.

A few follow up questions:

- It seems Magix only uses the Intel card if I disable the Nvidia card. I have tired 'Manage 3D settings' but there doesnt seem to be an option to switch it to Intel on there.

- The speed is pretty much the same as before. Even during editing I find the computer freezes for a few seconds after every 'move'. Any ideas on what could cause this?

. . . . It seems Magix only uses the Intel card if I disable the Nvidia card. I have tired 'Manage 3D settings' but there doesnt seem to be an option to switch it to Intel on there. . . . .

Try a full restart of the computer - Windows button, Power button, Restart - this will reload all the drivers and should, if necessary, install the Intel drivers.

Once this is done then you should be able to set VPX to use the Intel HD4600 in the NVidia control panel as previously posted.
