GPU
The GPU preference is only available in Fusion Studio. In DaVinci Resolve, you can configure
the GPU processing in Resolve’s Memory and GPU preferences.
In Fusion Studio, the GPU preference is used to specify the GPU acceleration method used for
processing, based on your computer platform and hardware capabilities. It is also used for
enabling caching and debugging GPU devices and tools.
The GPU preferences.
Options
The GPU options include radio buttons to select whether the GPU is used when processing
and, if so, which computer framework is used for communicating with the GPU.
GPU Tools: This preference has three settings: Auto, Disable, and Enable. When set to
Disable, no GPU acceleration is used for tools or third-party plug-ins. Fuses may still
require GPU acceleration. If Enable is selected, GPU acceleration is available for tools
and plug-ins, if appropriate drivers are installed.
API: The API setting selects the GPU processing method to use.
Device: The Device setting determines which GPU hardware to use in the case of
multiple GPUs. The Auto setting gives priority to GPU processing; however, if it is
unavailable, Fusion uses the platform default. Currently, both the AMD and CPU options
require either the AMD Catalyst 10.10 Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology
Edition driver or the ATI Stream SDK 2.1 or later to be installed. The Select setting
allows you to choose the device explicitly.
