Premiere Pro 2026 displays a false "insufficient GPU memory" warning on a system with an AMD RX 7900 XTX (24GB VRAM). GPU acceleration is enabled and Premiere functions normally. The warning appears to be incorrect.

Additional finding after further investigation:

While troubleshooting a separate Lightroom Classic issue, I discovered something that may be relevant to this report.

My system was running both the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics from the Ryzen 9 7950X and the dedicated Radeon RX 7900 XTX simultaneously.

Over the past few weeks, Lightroom Classic AI Denoise had become extremely slow. During testing, I noticed that Windows was heavily utilizing the integrated Radeon Graphics instead of the RX 7900 XTX for certain GPU accelerated tasks.

After disabling the integrated Radeon Graphics (first in Device Manager and later in BIOS), Lightroom AI Denoise immediately returned to normal performance.

Interestingly, the Premiere Pro "Insufficient GPU Memory" warning also disappeared completely and has not returned since.

I understand that Adobe has already confirmed this warning as a known issue in Premiere Pro 26.3.0, so I am not suggesting this is necessarily the root cause. However, given that another user in this thread mentioned possible interaction between Ryzen integrated graphics and Radeon RX 7900 series GPUs, I thought this observation might be useful for engineering.

At minimum, there appears to be some scenario where having both the integrated Radeon Graphics and a dedicated Radeon GPU active at the same time can lead to unexpected GPU related behavior across Adobe applications.

Hopefully this helps with the investigation and may help other users with a similar configuration.

FWIW: There is a reply below (currently at the bottom of this thread) from ​@Amy the Stuv . Adobe has put this down as a (now) know issue.

Thank you for your help.

I am experiencing the same issue after updating to Premiere Pro v26.3.0.

System configuration:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20GB VRAM
GPU drivers: Fully up to date
Operating system: Windows 11 Pro
Issue started after updating to Premiere Pro v26.3.0

This issue did not occur before the Premiere Pro v26.3.0 update.

Based on the Premiere Pro logs, the application appears to be misreading the available GPU memory. Premiere Pro is reporting approximately 495MB of VRAM, despite the installed discrete GPU being a Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20GB of VRAM.

My system also has integrated graphics through the Ryzen 9 7900X. My concern is that Premiere Pro may be incorrectly detecting or cross-referencing the integrated GPU memory while labeling the device as the discrete Radeon RX 7900 XT. In other words, the software appears to be associating the VRAM value from the onboard graphics with the dedicated GPU.

Troubleshooting already performed:

I confirmed that AMD GPU drivers are up to date.
I manually assigned Premiere Pro to use the Radeon RX 7900 XT through Windows Graphics settings.
I restarted Premiere Pro after making the change.
The issue persists.

At this time, the problem does not appear to be causing noticeable performance degradation, but Premiere Pro continues to display a GPU-related warning/red triangle despite the system hardware being fully capable of running the software.

Expected behavior:

Premiere Pro should correctly detect the Radeon RX 7900 XT as the active GPU and report the correct available VRAM amount of 20GB.

Actual behavior:

Premiere Pro appears to detect the Radeon RX 7900 XT by name but reports only approximately 495MB of VRAM, which is incorrect and may be coming from the integrated graphics memory allocation.

Please investigate GPU detection and VRAM reporting behavior in Premiere Pro v26.3.0, specifically on systems using AMD Ryzen CPUs with integrated graphics alongside a dedicated Radeon GPU.

This appears to be a software-side hardware detection issue introduced in the latest update, not a driver or hardware limitation.

Hello ​@teudagaf ,

Welcome to the Premiere Pro Community Boards and thank you for all the information and screenshots in filing out your bug report. They are helpful. I’m glad you’re not having any performance issues. I am curious if the drivers for your GPU are up to date, as that could cause this type of misidentification. 

This Helpx page links directly to the AMD website so you can check it out.
