NVIDIA® Hardware acceleration
If you have one of the latest NVIDIA® graphics cards, you can use graphics processing power to convert videos. Using the graphics card instead of the processor leaves your CPU free for other tasks, and you can use your computer without stuttering while converting videos.
Convert using NVIDIA GPU
-
With this option enabled, your NVIDIA graphics card will be used for processing H.264 and MPEG-2 videos, and they will be saved up to 50% faster.
