For anybody who has GPU working correctly, can you check if your GPU performance chart shows any number besides 0% and is it GPU/3D or GPU/Video Encode

Thanks
 
Nineteen cameras, four 4MP and the rest 2MP.

Just for your info: My Bi machine on a I5 3570K does not show any GPU data, but the same installation running on a I7 6700K does ??

here is I5:

Well it looks like your i5 is not using the GPU for Hardwar Acceleration. What is the setting in BI Options/Cameras tab? Is it set to a GPU? What about on a camera's properties Video tab? Is the HA decode set to a GPU?
 
Yes, I have Identical systems running on 2 computers...the I7 is used for testing updates. The I5 just don't show it though.Annotation 2020-04-24 165020.jpgAnnotation 2020-04-24 165114.jpgAnnotation 2020-04-24 165020.jpg
 
Well after doing a little google, I found that the windows task manager is not so reliable. I used Process Explorer and it shows the GPU is working correctly.

Another way to be sure, when task manager won't cooperate, is to turn off hardware acceleration and see if CPU usage goes up. Process Explorer is probably only showing GPU rendering usage. If you close the BI console and let it run as a service only, and that drops significantly, then it wasn't hardware acceleration usage.

I don't run mine as a service, but I did minimize BI and it dropped in Process explorer, But I then tried same thing on The I7 test machine using task manager and it also drops when I minimize BI. ?? But, that was the first test I did on my BI machine was to disable HA and yes the CPU usage would increase. No big deal, just wondered why it wasn't showing up.
 
Task manager will show GPU 0 if graphics card WDDM driver version is < 2.
To check your WDDM version, run dxdiag tool:

Solution: use external tool like GPU-z:

Interesting..I will be using the same CPU......

(Watching this thread)
 
To see if Hardware Acceleration is being used for a camera in BI, bring up the Status pop-up and go to the Cameras tab. A # sign in the 'Pixels' column indicates that HA is on for that camera.

My WDDM is 1.3 as well...still no show

OK, but @Shuki stated "Task manager will show GPU 0 if graphics card WDDM driver version is < 2."

And 1.3 is less than 2, so maybe update the driver?

I guess ver 1.3 is all can get on the Intel HD 4000 chipset...Thanks for all the help here. At least I know why task manager isn't reporting GPU when it actually is working.
