Hello everyone,

Lately, I have been experiencing some issues with my graphics card specifically the video engine
I was having bad fps in Overwatch in the past 3 days because of that problem, I did change some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel that decided which card is used for running certain applications it was set to High Performance NVIDIA Processor but the weird thing was when I changed it to auto-select my fps problem is gone but my GPU Video Engine is still at a stale 0% I was wondering if that would affect me in any certain way but my problem with overwatch has been fixed when I changed the cards in the control panel to auto-select.

I have a gaming laptop which is made by HP (HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook)
specs are:
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950m 4GB VRAM(It has an option of integrated graphics as well)
Intel Core i7-6700HQ(It reaches 3.6GHz probably overclocked)
1TB Ram

I wanted to know if I should be concerned about this or not.

ya seems my NVidia card shows that ?? I guess I need to see where that comes into play [gtx 980ti] maybe it read something like when rendering vid's ? just don't recall it reading anything like just under game play or what ever ?

a quick look at gpuz screenshots in google images of like cards you see there 0 as well ??

so maybe its got to be a certain type of program for it to be used by the cards ?

i'll dig in to that some seeing you perked my interest now [lol]

what I thought

''That's for decoding videos, like movies, TV shows, and accelerated video in browsers from places like YouTube (if the browser supports it.) If you have some H.264 encoded video and play it, I'm willing to bet that...

''That's for decoding videos, like movies, TV shows, and accelerated video in browsers from places like YouTube (if the browser supports it.) If you have some H.264 encoded video and play it, I'm willing to bet that you'll see load on the video engine. I bet it would also go up if you use QuickSync to encode video as well (just a guess, I don't really know that for certain,) but, it shouldn't be active while you're playing GTA5.

then this

Video Engine Load is a output signal monitor (how much information is being sent to the screen) but the latest drivers from Nvidia have seemingly left it out


now maybe consumer card like ours it maybe disabled but if you had a professional card like a Quattro card it may register something

all in all I don't think its anything to worry about
