Adobe Premiere Pro GPU encoding?

[krowhill]

Ok, I need some help, and Adobe has not been helpful in this.  Adobe turned on GPU encoding and decoding "Hardware-accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoding".  I have an AMD 3700x processor, 128GB of RAM, a GTX 1070 (I know I need to update), and 12TB of storage (2TB NVMe, 2TB SATA SSD, and a 8TB 7,200 rpm).  I use the machine for some gaming, but mostly for media creation (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, and others).  I cannot find the setting to turn it on.  I called Adobe and after talking to several people who did not know what I was talking about, the "engineer" who called me back said it was only available with Intel processors, but in the most recent video that LTT just dropped, it shows that hardware encoding was used with Epyc CPUs, so how does one enable it?  Adobe doesn't seem to know, can anyone help me out?

They might have thought you were asking about Quicksync.

 

There's two kinds of GPU usage, one for rendering and one for encoding.

So they can't be that lost.

As for how to do it, I haven't been able to find a good reference to how to use it online, which suggests it might be some passive setting somewhere that looks for available encoders and then selects one.
