Premiere Rush Uses Only CPU or Weak Integral GPU? Fix Your Problem by Our Solutions

"I have two computers I've used Rush on lately. On one, I'm seeing 100% CPU usage during video editing/playback in Rush on an older 6-Core Sandy Bridge Processor and nil use of the installed 1080TI during this process。On a work computer with no discrete GPU, we have an 8700k with integrated Intel 630, and we see the 630 GPU go to 100% and the CPU used rather sparingly during playback. Nowhere in rush do I see settings to adjust any of this."

Adobe Premiere Rush comes with small size and bare-bones toolkits, which advertises itself as easy and fast. Therefore, it should be a thing without a shadow of a doubt that Rush could work much faster than its brethren- Premiere Pro, which is powerful but notorious for the crashing. However, your plan to speed up the 4k-video-editing process backfired when you ended up blasting your CPU at 100% usage.

Is your footage too large? To get rid of the error, you reimport a 1080p video, downloading from YouTube, into Rush, your CPU usage rate still could reach 90% or higher. You take some cup of tea to keep you awake, and finally, the clips are successfully loaded. You thought it could be a breeze as you just plan to do some basic editing jobs. Again, your computer freezes out. This time it uses graphics cards, but the situation didn't get better. Much as the computer is built with powerful discrete GPU, Rush uses the outdated Intel integrated graphics cards. Thus made you wonder: why Rush doesn't run a strong spate GPU? Though pulling out your hair, no effective solution was found. That's exactly why we post this article. We intend to help you solve the problems with the below easy-to-follow steps.

Let's get started by answering the above question: Premier Rush failed to detect your GPU. Therefore it still runs the slow integrated Intel graphics. To fix this problem, we should dive to see:

How Come Rush Cannot Detect a Discrete GPU? - Possible Reasons Analyze

  • Possible reason 1. The drive of your graphics card is too old. This error can easily get fixed by updating the graphics to the latest version.
  • Possible reason 2. Premiere Rush meets some trouble about assigning the GPU correctly. This seems to be a common issue between NVIDIA and Adobe. AMD usually goes better with Rush though still not ideal and will meet many problems. We need to assignee Rush to use the high-performance processor. If it still doesn’t work, disabling the integral GPU will make some effort to fix the problem. The specific step will be explained later.

Unfortunately, the above two solutions are not working for everyone as Premiere Rush is still unfriendly with many graphics cards. We consult adobe help, search the related information and hope to find some solutions, all end up in vain. If you're stuck on a problem and can't find the answer, one of the best things you can do is to find the alternative. To enable Rush to run strong GPU is never our purpose, to speed up the video editing process is.

The perfect and easy-to-apply solution is actually using some alternative tools of Premiere Pro, which should be the expertise to apply the hardware acceleration technology and process video. Among them, VideoProc from Digiarty is best recommend. Keep on reading to study detailed steps to solve the above possible problems

How to Install the Latest Driver for Your Graphics Card?

Graphics brands, NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, often release new graphics drivers with the purpose to improve their performance in support of graphics processing. If the problem lies in the version of the graphics driver, then we can get it fixed by updating that driver with the latest release. Not knowing the specific information of your GPU? I will show you this with my daily work computer.

Click the search icon and enter: system information. Then it pops up this panel.

Check System Information

Step 2: Click Components > Display to find Adapter Description. That is what your GPU is. Save all information into the notebook if you are a beginner.

Step 3: Go to the manufacturer's websites for updating the graphics driver:

Step 4: Select the exact model of your computer’s graphics card and enter the details of your adapter on the website

Fill in GPU Information

Step 5: Download the right drivers directly.

  • We advise you to set an easy to check folder as the download path
  • A stable and good network environment should be available when downloading the installation package

Step 6: Install the driver following the instruction provided by NVIDIA/AMD.

How to Assign Rush to Use the High-Performance Processor?

There are times Premiere Rush can detect the high-performance GPU but not using it as if it forgets to run a better GPU. Hence we need to manually assign Rush to use the high-performance processor and disable the integral cards.

Step 1: open NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel

  • Right Click the desktop, then you could find there is the NVIDIA or AMD icon, then click it.
  • If NVIDIA or AMD icon is missed, we should restart NVIDIA Services.

Press Windows + R keys together to open the Run box, then type "services.msc" in the Run box. Hit Enter to enter the service window. To find all services with name stared with NVIDIA, and click on the Restart button. Some targeted service has stopped, click Start.

Step 2: Click Manage 3D Settings and hit Program Settings.

Step 3: Click Add to add Premiere Rush CC on the list of applications.

Manage 3D Settings

Step 4: Click Program Settings; Select adobe premiere rush cc as the program to customize.

Step 5: Select a High-performance NVIDIA/AMD processor, which just updated with better performance as the preferred graphics processor for this program.

Good job to assign the high-performance GPU for Premiere Rush. Let’s move on to find how to disable the integral graphics card.

Step 6: Click Search Icon on the left corner of the PC, and enter the Device Manager to open the device manager panel.

Step 7: Click Display Adaptors and select the integral graphics cards. For a better reference, the computer I use has only integral cards.

Disable Integral Card

Step 8: Right-click the integral graphics cards and select Disable.

By these steps, the integral graphics card can be disabled. As we have mentioned earlier, these two solutions do work for many computers. But it is not adapting to all bugs. There are times Rush cannot detect GPU though disabling the internal graphics cards and manage the high- performance graphics cards. No other a switch or settings we could tweak in our system to get things done.

If you need a one-click solution to take full advantages of GPU to edit videos Download VideoProc - A Specialized Video Editor with Robust GPU Acceleration CapabilityEasier & fast Solution

Premiere Rush may be a professional software to process videos in the near future, but not today. To differentiate Rush for the better, it has to solve many problems of its own like slow performance in poor-built pc, the weird incompatible issue with high-performance GPU and etc. Otherwise, we may be willing to sacrifice efficiency and squeeze out the last juice of CPU, but the intensive challenges brought by the popularization of 4K videos to the processor is beyond our CPU could bear. Thus we have to seek help from software that can take full usage of GPU acceleration without error.

Taking editing functions, output quality, ease of use into consideration, we highly recommend VideoProc as the thing to trigger hardware acceleration for fast edit your 4K footages.
