PP CS6 and MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB compatibility

I've replaced my ageing PC with an i7 7700, Asus Maximus Hero IX mobo with GTX 1060 GPU.

PP CS6 aborts loading with the error message 'Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules...'

I have edited the supported coda_supported_cards file and have the latest GeForce drivers but gpusniffer.exe says the card was not chosen because it did not match the named list of cards.

Can anyone please suggest what the correct syntax is - or whether is is a permanently incompatible duo.  Thanks.

Correct answer Jon-M-Spear

Trawling the web, I see that some comments are about non-utilisation of cuda cores with CS6/GTX1060. 

I can't get that far - as PP won't load after the ' 'Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules...' message.


Thanks to Bill Gehrke for suggesting it may be a corrupt install.  CC Cleaner and a re-installation fixed the issue.

The latest NVidia driver is not always the best... not on my current computer, but on a previous one with a different NVidia card (and different version of PPro) I could only use one specific driver... nothing earlier, and nothing later... so you may need to experiment

As for the card name in the text file, right click in your desktop and select NVidia control panel then System information in the lower left corner of the pop up window to make sure that you are using exactly the same name as nvidia

    Thanks John.  The syntax for my card is correct in the cuda_supported_cards.txt file, so that's disappointing.

    I guess I'll have to play around with older drivers.  It will be a shame because I've just this second built the machine primarily for Photoshop and LR.  I didn't see this hiccup on my radar at all! :-(

    Well, using the 4+ year old PPro with a newer generation NVidia card MAY require using an older driver

    I use a GeForce GTX 760 with my PProCS6 and Win10 and all works well (knock on wood and hope a future Win10 updates doesn't hose my system)

    I'm really not "up" on the hardware in NVidia cards, but I do think the 1060 uses architecture that wasn't around when CS6 was written, so that also MAY be a problem
