Which is a better driver for shotcut geforce gameready or geforce studio

[sjohar]

Hi,

Nividia says geforce studio is a better driver to use for video editing, but I find that it runs out of memory when editing, but geforce gameready does not.

I tried searching the net, and the Shotcut forum, but found nothing on this.

I have just begun video editing, and bought a new asus Tuf Dash F15 with 16 gb ram and Nvidia geforece rtx 3060 6 gm vram.

The settings that I use for both are as under -
preview scaling 360 p, proxy with h264_nvenc.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I am missing?

One more thing, I find that when using the geforce studio driver, it does not pick up Shotcut to optimise, but does pick vlcc.

I am asking this question, just to ensure that I get the best out of my laptop.

All help will be gratefully accepted.

NVIDIA offers two different drivers for the same card

If you want to update your graphics card driver, you should pay attention to two things: [Screenshot_20191209-091707] 1.) DHC. [Screenshot_20191209-091630] 2.) and thats the really important thing STUDIO DRIVER. [Screenshot_20191209-091741] So, the ‘Studio Driver’ is for those who do not have high-end games on their PC. Interesting for those who work a lot with graphics software, such as film editing, animation, etc. Who uses the studio driver for SHOTCUT and what experiences has he ma…

I suppose the answer is “try both and use whichever one works best for you”.

Thanks.

I was planning to do just that, but thought to check if someone already has an answer.
