    Hi there guys i am stuck with the problem. I wanna activate cuda for video conversion in xilliosoft after googling i manage to activate cuda. But the problem is when i activate cuda and start conversion, gpu stays idle so don't know what the hell is wrong. It doesn't seem to use gpu. Anyone know how to properly activate cuda?

    I have g750js gtx870m

    nCrapia has decided that we don't need CUDA and disabled it ever since version 34x

    I always enable it by simply copying the 2 cuda files into their respective folders in C:\Windows and it works like a charm and makes video conversion much much faster

    Restore CUDA in the latest nVIDIA Drivers 34x.xx

    How i should i know if its working.. it appears active in my case but gpu doesnt seems to be underload during xilliosoft video conversion.

    and in case of any video convertor when i choose nvidia cuda, the output is choppy and real bad which tells me something is not right here..

    Well once CUDA is there you should notice the conversion finish much faster. In the above example, we notice that there was no CUDA before copying those files but after copying the files and rebooting the CUDA option became active.

    Make sure you are copying both files to their respective folders then reboot.

    And also make sure you are not using the latest crappy drivers from cRapVidia because they throttle the GPU a lot so use Drivers 345.20 for the best performance with no throttling.

    No use i tried everything same problem. Cuda active in Xilliosoft but gpu is not being used up.

    In any video convertor cuda is active and gpu being used up fast conversion but the results are ****.
