# EnableGPU

A Boolean value that specifies whether to use a graphics card (GPU) for decoding, instead of the CPU.

Using a graphics card for decoding video can reduce the load on the CPU.

You must have installed a supported GPU and the required version of the NVIDIA CUDA driver. For information about GPU acceleration, see Enable GPU Acceleration.

NOTE: If the server has more than one GPU, you can choose which GPU to use by setting the GPUDeviceID parameter.

If your graphics card does not support the video codec required to ingest the video, Media Server automatically uses the CPU instead.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | `EnableGPU=True`
