Are you selecting the 'Hardware Accelerated (experimental)' codecs in the Render menu?

collapsed inline media

Apparently Kdenlive doesn't fully utilize the GPU when rendering even when those are selected, but it should use about 30% of the GPU or so.

Oof. Well Davinci uses my GPU fully and I didn't have to do anything 😮‍💨

Yes, unfortunately Kdenlive still has a ways to go when it comes to hardware acceleration. I think it's mostly the MLT Media Engine that's holding it back.
