Topic: Can't enable gpu acceleration

Hello, i can't seem to enable gpu acceleration. It is grayed out.
My GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, CPU is intel core i5-4690k @ 3.50 ghz.
Is there something wrong? or is it that my graphic card isnt compatible.

Re: Can't enable gpu acceleration

Usually you need to run DDU and then re-install your GPU drivers.

Also, if you use MadVR, I would recommend trying to use your Intel iGPU for SVP and your discrete Nvidia GPU for MadVR.

Where you saw that? In SVP 3.1.7 tray icon menu?
Then yes. Nintendo Maniac 64 is right. Reinstall your NVIDIA driver. And for your internal graphics too (Intel HD Graphics 4600).

I you did it right then you will see submenu for selection one of your GPUs. Like this:

Also try "Huge CPU Load" thread.

The Nvidia MPC-HC & Kodi drivers are GARBO/doa; some desktop-chip users have also had issues as well..

You MUST address the driver settings through the Nvidia Inspector tool. It is quite Easy....
Follow this [Find bottom..] thread through approx.-#22 to GET GTX 965M to run with MPC-HC / SVP / Mad-VR
Pin Pon Pin Pon !
I followed the instructions just as said in the thread. Now it works, my GPU is shouldering the workload. My CPU is ~40-60% during 1080p video while my GPU is at 50-70%, and no need to talk about 720p which is even better.
So it seems that it's working for the moment, thanks for the help big_smile
For those with the same problem who are too lazy too read the thread :
You download Nvidia Inspector tool, then next to driver version you go to the profile settings.
Then you find Media Player Classic and you change this :
Enable application for Optimus = SHIM_RENDERING_MODE_ENABLE (0x00000001)
Shim Rendering Mode Options per application for Optimus = SHIM_RENDERING_OPTIONS_ENABLE_DWM_ASYNC_PRESENT (0x00000040)
And it should be working.

darren321223 has not optimus. As I can see he has desktop not laptop with switchable graphics.
