I've just recently built a new Windows 10 machine to replace my old 2010 Mac Pro. I've installed the newest web driver from Nvidia. CUDA acceleration appears as an option for the Mercury Playback Engine in both Premiere and Media Encoder. When I make an export, even with CUDA selected, the software encodes with my CPU instead.
I was under the impression that on Windows 10 I only need to install the driver, that I don't need a separate CUDA driver like on macOS. Is this the case or do I need to install the CUDA 9.2 or 10 Toolkit from Nvidia's site? If I dont need the toolkit, what could be causing this?
Relevant system specs:
Gigabyte Designare Z390
i7-9700k
RTX 2070
32gb ram
Thanks!
