# GPUDeviceID

The device ID of the graphics card to use for encoding video, when you choose an encoding profile that enables GPU encoding.

Several requirements must be met before you can use a GPU. For more information about using a GPU, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide.

You only need to set this parameter if the server has more than one GPU. You can find the device ID for each of your graphics cards using the `nvidia-smi` tool.
