Just got R9 290, but don't see anything in Handbrake to enable GPU processing.

Is there any video converter that will use GPU instead of CPU for video?

You need "HandBrake-svn6117_x86_64-Win_GUI.exe" from here

And then go to Tools >> Options >> Video.

And keep in mind the description next to the check mark. It doesn't do much to improve speed (in some cases, it makes it slower). Quicksync (if you have it) is FAR better.
