GPU encoder not showing up in resolve free 18.6 version

Hello there,

I am using the free version of resolve 18.6.6. I purchased a dedicated GPU after I had resolve already installed.

The preference is set as shown below




But on the deliver page the encoder does not show NVIDIA option.




Is it that GPU encoder is reserved for the paid version i.e, the studio version.

Also, kindly let me know if the GPU configuration settings in the preference are correct.

As I have only native and Auto available, what is the difference between the two?

Thank you.

Studio only afaik. Native is CPU based. Nothing wrong with that.

Only studio can use it.
