Hi good folks.

This is my first post, but I've had very good use of this forum - so thanks!

I run vMix on a win10 pro laptop that has two graphics cards - the generic Lenovo card (Intel UHD Graphics 630) and an NVIDA GeForce GTX 1650.

I keep getting warnings that the GPU is suffering. The same happens if the "Use Hardware encoder" option is ticked or not. Here an illustration of usage with that selection ticked:


And here an illustration of the same streaming settings, but without using the hardware encoder:


My NVIDA driver software seems to be correctly set - this image is from the system tray:


What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get vMix to lean more heavily on the NVIDA-card?

Tried enabeling Optimus - made absolutely no difference.

I've gone through all the nvida config reccomandations - so nvida is set to be the card of choice for vMix and the computer in general in fact. The PhysX is set to Nvida too.

Still my Intel UHD seems to wat to be the boss here :-(

Today I had a simple show pushing 3mbps to NDI - wile watching the stream in Chrome at the same time - CPU ran at 100%, the UHD ran at 90% and the NVIDA ran at 12%.

Several things I don't understand here. I have a brand new Lenovo i9. Handleing this should not use 100% CPU and, of course, the Nvida should pull most of the graphics weight??

Confirmed.

My complete laptop specs are:
Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2
Intel Core i9-9880H Processor with vPro (2.30GHz, up to 4.80GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 Cores, 16MB Cache
32GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM
1TB Solid State Drive, M.2 2280, NVMe, Opal

Intel UHD Graphics 630
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650

All drivers and windows-version updated. Lates vMix build.
