ArkThinker Supports GPU Acceleration to Speed up Media Processing

GPU acceleration computing uses a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a central processing unit (CPU) to accelerate processing-intensive performances. When using handing video or images with ArkThinker software, GPU acceleration is available to speed up the processing performance. Here is the complete information to know how to enable this feature.

Part 1. What Is GPU Acceleration

What is GPU acceleration good for?

GPU acceleration is beneficial in data-processing applications and software such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. GPU acceleration is good for speeding up processing intensive operations when handing video and image data. That will make your computer run smoother and faster than the ordinary ones.

Should I use GPU acceleration?

Generally speaking, you should enable GPU acceleration because it can make your computing performance run smoother than before. However, fault hardware acceleration may get your computer stuck or run poorly. So, before you enable GPU acceleration, you should check if your computer supports that and if you have made the correct settings for GPU acceleration.

That's what you shall learn from the following parts.

Also, do not forget to check your computer system requirements to see if your computer can run GPU aceleration.

Part 3. How to Enable GPU Acceleration

To use GPU acceleration correctly, you should read the following guide.

Here, we take AMD hard acceleration as an example.

For Windows 10 or 11 users: Right-click the empty of the desktop to select Display Settings. Then locate the Advanced Display Settings to click Detect above.

Here, you have done to complete the settings of GPU acceleration.

Take Video Converter Ultimate as an example.

Run ArkThinker Video Converter Ultimate on your computer, select Preferences from the top menu to go to the General tab by default. Please tick the box of Enable Hardware Acceleration and select the hardware acceleration you set in the above steps, and OK to apply it.
