Freemake Video Converter uses CUDA and DXVA technologies
Many users of Freemake Video Converter have heard about CUDA and DXVA, embedded technologies in software to speed up video conversion speed. However, not everyone knows how and when these technologies work and what is the added value. Inside each modern PC there is a graphics card that allows to launch powerful video games and graphics software. Technically speaking, the video card has its own memory, the GPU, or Graphic Processing Unit. The term "GPU", was invented by NVIDIA when launching the GeForce video. The general objective of GPU is to relieve the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of graphics in order to ensure the efficiency of the workload. Graphics cards can handle more calculation. Their chips can contain up to 1000 cores which, obviously, are not as powerful as the PROCESSOR's cores, but that respond specifically to graphics processing. The video conversion process includes two steps, decoding (decompressing an original file) and encoding (compression). Both processes require a lot of processing power, so as to make a conversion as fast as possible. In order to unload the PROCESSOR, the power of the video cards helps. CUDA, or Compute Unified Device Architecture NVIDIA technology ensures a dramatic increase in software performance using the power of GPU. CUDA works in some video games, 3D, applications, web browsers, television and video applications.
What is CUBA?
This means that you can convert video faster with Freemake Video Converter, if you choose AVI, MP4, MKV, Apple, Android, Sony as output formats. Remember that CUDA only works with NVIDIA graphics cards, starting with the GeForce 8 and above. It is therefore advisable to update the driver of the video card if your card supports CUDA.
What is DXVA?
DirectX Video Acceleration, or DXVA, is the Microsoft technology for Windows Vista, 7, 8, and, 10 which decodes video accelerated by GPU. DXVA is more picky than CUDA: it only works for video decoding and only for files with H. 264, MPEG2, and VC-1 codecs. This technology is mostly used by video converters, DVDs, rippers, and video players. A big plus is that the list of supported video cards includes ATI Radeon HD, NVIDIA GeForce, and some Intel cards. The chances that your graphics card supports DXVA are rather high. In case you have a NVIDIA GeForce chip card, you can benefit from CUDA and DXVA when converting videos.
The leaders of video card manufacturers have put forward their own technology-based GPUs: CUDA from NVIDIA, DXVA from Microsoft, ATI Stream from AMD.
