P: Premiere Pro Freeze During Export Using Hardware Encoding (NVIDIA RTX 5070)

I’m having the same problem. I recently purchased an RTX5090, and I can't render videos using the GPU — it progresses to a certain point, then freezes, and I have to restart everything. I disabled GPU rendering and am using the CPU for now until I find a solution. I’ve updated everything, tried all possibilities, and nothing works, it’s definitely a problem.

So aggressive for no reason lol. That's why I sent my card to get fixed... 

Stop fooling yourself and open your eyes — this is clearly a broken GPU, not some minor bug. The RTX 50 series is a complete mess for video editing, and it’s screwing over tons of users who bought it expecting reliable performance. It's been over two damn months, and neither Adobe nor NVIDIA has had the guts to say a single word — that silence says it all: they messed up big time.

There’s no magic fix coming. Stop waiting like a fool. Return the card. I don’t care if it’s been weeks or months — as long as it’s under warranty, send it back. Selling this kind of unstable hardware without warning is a joke. The RTX 50 series is a disaster for video work, and pretending otherwise is just lying to yourself.

@FlyingFourFun Yes, I installed that Windows update three days ago and it didn't help. There has been no change.

Microsoft seems to have put out a statement related to the May updates for stability:

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 24H2 stability issues, affecting games, tests performance fixes

some potentialy relevent text:

“This update addresses an issue observed in rare cases after installing the May 2025 security update and subsequent updates, causing devices to experience stability issues,” Microsoft noted in the document first spotted by Windows Latest.

It is worth noting that Microsoft won’t tell us what really caused performance issues, but if you were affected, your device would have become unresponsive and stopped responding in some cases. "

“Some devices became unresponsive and stopped responding in specific scenarios,” Microsoft added."

Microsoft is testing the fix for stability issues in Windows 11 KB5062660, which, as I noted above, is an optional release. This means the patch is not downloaded automatically, but you’ll get these fixes when Microsoft releases Windows 11’s August 2025 Patch Tuesday update on August 12, 2025."

Looks like the preview releases were available a few days,  maybe check your windows update history to see if this update was already applied, mine has been:

@Tsimdux well that confirms its probably not over clocking.  I really wish I had a 5090 FE to test with right now...  I have time as I'm between projects, so it would be ideal.

@FlyingFourFun I have a 5090 FE and have all of these problems.

I have a 5090 and tried all of these steps. I uninstalled all my drivers and did a fresh install of the Studio Drivers. Then my export froze about 30 seconds into exporting. Then the only way I can get Premiere Pro to close is to restart my PC. So This doesn't work. 

There are faulty GPU' chips that nvidia has managfcatured,  but there is also a good chance that these 3rd party boards are building thiers differently and thus seeign different issues.  Power management on the board is the most likly, especialy these overclock versions of the cards.   If someone has one of these cards with issues, I wonder if they can try turning down the clock and memory speeds of them to factory OEM standard and see if there are any issues.    Does anyone with a founders edition card have any of these issues would be a good data point.

Hello There all.

I had similar issues with adobe softwares with my new PC that have the RTX 5070. 
I even had a much worse problem with audition, sepcificially the effect: Noise reduction (process) ! 
using that effect triggers chain of sluggihness and eventually caused my whole pc to have either white or black screen along with a weird peep sound. 

After spening hours and hours trying to fix it , I found the soloution with the help of Nivida help centre. 
I used a tool they provided called  "NVIDIA Cleanup Tool" which removes the driver completly from your device and then install the recent Studio  graphics driver. 

Please follow the steps in the attached screen shot of the email that i got from NVIDIA to do this process. 
I wish this will solve your problems too !
