Replying to Learning Curves

I never went to "school" to learn how to do video production.
Maybe I should have talked with a friend of mine that did!
Anyway.................................







I didn't realize that one had to make so many settings to get the darn GPU's actually working for video production. It's taken me a while, but now I am cooking with gas compared to my super old laptop.
Cut time for say a three minute video, from 25 to 30 minutes to 7 minutes now, and that's using high-end settings.
I am stoked as long as it doesn't burn down!
Intel and Nvidia GPU's and a burning heat Intel i7 CPU


The curve is steep for a Luddite like me!
Anyone else been through this?
Setting for Intel
Settings for Nvidia
Graphics settings for Windows 10
I guess a person has to be some kind of genius!
