i7-7700K @5.1GHz w/ Quick Sync enabled

How does one know if Quick Sync is enabled or not?

How does one know if Quick Sync is enabled or not?

You can use MacX Video Converter Pro. Launch it and click on the little blue info button. A window will pop up to tell you if Hardware Encoding Supported or not.

Thanks!

It says NO! on mine! :-o
Any way to make it active? Have the same CPU as you...

EDIT: By changing integrated Graphics from AUTO to ENABLED in BIOS it now says I have HW Encode! Yay!

EDIT2: Buuuuut.... I had forgotten, when it's set to ENABLED, exports from FCPX are totally garbled... hmmm...

EDIT3: The export speed in FCPX seems to be pretty much the same whether it's set to AUTO or ENABLED, but when set to AUTO it looks as it should when exported...

AMD Radeon HD Baffin Prototype Compute Engine with 16 CU @ 1.2GHz, and OPEN CL: 73665

Mac OS 10.13.2- FCP 10.3.4
Hackintosh Haswell i5-4460 - 3,2 GHz
16 GB RAM, AMD RADEON 560 4 GB (Works out of the box with lilu and evergreen)
Time: 38 Seconds

Not bad for a really budget i5 and a 140 euro graphics card!

Same test with Nvidia GTX960 in the same build : 109 Seconds
Same test with Intel HD4600 Graphics (from i5 cpu) : 96 Seconds

macOS 10.3.3 - FCP 10.4
Coffeelake

MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2
i5-8400 w/ Quick Sync enabled
Final Cut Pro X 10.4
Sapphire Pulse RX 560
BruceX Test 5K - 61 seconds


Why does my rx 560 2GB take a full minute?

Don't know how exactly but fixed it:

macOS 10.3.3 - FCP 10.4
Coffeelake i5-8400
16 GB DDR4 2133Mhz
RX 560 2 GB
Bruce 5k - 36 seconds

Mac Os 10.3.3 - FCP 10.4
Gigabyte Z370N
Coffeelake i7-8700K 3.7GHz @5GHz
16gb ram
GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB
Bruce 5k test - 100 seconds

Fun fact, I'm only getting half of the video rendered. The horizontal left half is black...
MacX Video Converter Pro does't work for me (won't start) so can't see if my hardware acceleration is on.
FCPX is really sluggish so I suspect my intel HD 630 isn't being put to contribution. Working on it...

My Results:
Mac OS v10.12.6
FCP v10.4

CPU: Intel Core i5 7600K 3,8GHz (OC with Gigabyte "Auto" features to 4600MHz) - Cooler Hyper 212EVO
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z270 Gaming 3
RAM: DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LED 2666 2x8GB
GPU: Gigabyte Aorus RX580 8GB

Bruce X 5K Render Test Time: Less than 15 Seconds

Fun fact, I'm only getting half of the video rendered. The horizontal left half is black...

I tried MacX Video Converter and says "NO" to hardware encoding support, then I search and found this thread:
https://hackintosher.com/guides/fix-rendering-issues-fcpx-high-sierra/

Enabled iGPU and eGPU on BIOS, MacX Video says "YES" to hardware encoding support, but performance is poor, about 1min 25sec to BruceX 5K and bad render, left half of the screen Green, Right half of the screen correct.

So I revert to Auto GPU on BIOS settings and everything works fine, maybe was my fault cause I'm on Sierra no HighSierra
