Enabling GPU Rendering

[Asher Schwartz]

Hi there! I have Wondershare Filmora installed on my laptop and I was wondering how to enable GPU rendering. The speeds are significantly slower than Adobe Premier Pro.

I was wondering if there was a way to enable GPU rendering or if there is just no way.

I started off by googling it and using the first two sites.

 

https://www.wondershare.com/topic/gpu-optimization.html

This program is very old and mentions no windows 8 or windows 10 support, nor your graphics card. If they simply stopped supporting "newer" graphics cards this could explain your issues. That being said, I would suggest you loosely follow the same windows 7 set up on your presumably windows 10 computer (funny how you literally gave every spec except OS XD). 

 

Then the second link is them answering your question in 2016.

They only support certain graphics cards, yours doesn't seem to be on the list. I would suggest updating the drivers manually from amd's auto sense program and trying to enable it through your settings. I know sometimes for finicky products you need to go through the windows task manager and manually enable gpu rendering/support for certain programs. I've done this with autodesk products in particular. 

Edited to add: Pretty much 3 and a half months ago Best of luck!

Thank you! Sorry to forget that it is windows 10. I assume though as they updated and revamped the whole product in 2013 and that is when windows 8 was out. I will try the manually enabliing gpu rendering. I have the latest amd drivers

Didnt work couldnt find the force gpu rendering option

Okay okay- so I don't know specifically about your program. But, you're going to need something called OpenCL installed with your AMD GPU to get the software to start using your GPU for render acceleration. It won't work without that. At that point you'll have to see if your program has support for OpenCL, if it does it'll work. You'll just need to go into the rendering or program settings and tell it to use your graphics card if it doesn't automatically pick it up.
