Premiere Pro v25.3 disables CUDA GPU Acceleration on GTX 1650 (regression from v25.2.3)

I would like to report a reproducible issue in Adobe Premiere Pro.

[Issue Description]
Starting with Premiere Pro v25.3, GPU Acceleration (Mercury Playback Engine – CUDA) becomes unavailable (grayed out) when using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (GDDR6).

[Expected / Previous Behavior]
In Premiere Pro v25.2.3 and earlier, GPU Acceleration (CUDA) works correctly on the same system with identical hardware and drivers.

[Reproduction Environment]

• OS: Windows 11 Pro (fully updated)

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (GDDR6), single GPU configuration

• Driver: NVIDIA Studio Driver (clean installation)

• Displays: All monitors connected directly to the GTX 1650

• Premiere Pro versions tested:

  • v25.2.3 → CUDA selectable and functional

  • v25.3 → CUDA option unavailable (grayed out)

[Additional Notes]

• GPU is correctly recognized in Device Manager

• Issue occurs even in new projects

• GPU scheduling OFF, Core Isolation OFF, and other troubleshooting steps did not resolve the issue

• Premiere Pro 2024 (v24.x) works correctly on the same system

Based on these results, this appears to be a regression in GPU detection or CUDA eligibility logic introduced in Premiere Pro v25.3.

I would appreciate it if this issue could be investigated and addressed in a future update.

Thank you for your time and support.
