GPU Accelerated Encoding (Nvidia)

[Inversion]

Okay so this is probably not the first post about this but I'm having trouble editing and encoding at any decent rate. I have a Maxwell based GTX 960 that supposedly supports CUDA and I know uses NVENC (I use it in OBS and can see increased GPU load in GPU-Z. I own Sony Movie Studio 13 and bought it since it says on the website CUDA supported from I think the GTX 600 series and above. I've looked high and low for a solution and came up empty really what I need is either a fix someone knows about or if someone could point me in the direction of an editor that is free or very inexpensive that will support GPU acceleration on the GTX 960. I'm willing to learn a new program since I've not used Sony for that long.

The newer Nvidia cards are broken in Sony Vegas and there does not seem to be a fix for that in the near future.

Having said that: Its better to get a good CPU like a Ryzen for video encoding then a GPU.

I can't afford the £350 upgrade to Ryzen rn. any editors you know of that support Nvidia cards?

Premiere supports up to a single GPU (multi-GPU support has been "on the way" for quite a few years now). I'm not familiar with any other editors that take advantage of Nvidia GPU's, unless you count using Blender, which is both a 3d modelling tool that can be used to render videos. Blender does take advantage of multiple GPUs if you have them.
