[Cin] Observations using GPU on DNxHD and MPEG proxy while running CinelerraGG

[Igor BEGHETTO]

Pierre, your  video card is good, for me.
It has 640 CUDA CORES. Unfortuantely only ffmpeg-nvenc use cuda core and 
not for all codec, seems to me.
If you use Blender (http://www.blender.org/) and enable 
ComputeDevice=YourGTX you can see that cuda cores save a lot of your 
time to render a 3Dmodel/scene and your cpu% is low.
