Anyone know if the premiere does not run with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800?

Correct answer excited_Genie16B8

Premiere Pro will 'run' with any GPU.

GPU accelerated performance is a different issue.

Charlei,

What is the driver version being used by that card? The most recent one is 431.94, released a week ago.

Hello guys!
I played my video card for an NVIDIA Quadro K4200 and the same problem continues, nothing has changed !!!!!

Guess what? The FX 1800 is NOT supported for GPU acceleration in ANY version of Premiere Pro – even the CS5 version, the first to support CUDA – because it has only 768MB of RAM. MPE GPU acceleration, even in CS5, requires at least 765MB of free, unused graphics RAM; however, the Windows UI itself eats up nearly 20MB of graphics RAM on its own. That leaves less than 750MB free on a 768MB card – too little to even enable GPU acceleration at all.

And starting with CC 2015.3, the Tesla-architecture GPUs are no longer supported at all for GPU acceleration because these newer versions of Premiere require the driver branch version that was current at the time of that CC version's release, or newer, just to even enable GPU acceleration. Unfortunately, the last version of the drivers that were compatible with the legacy Tesla-architecture GPUs was only version 342.01, which although released in December 2016, actually was only a security patch of a driver version that dated all the way back to late 2014 – and that's too old for newer versions of Premiere. CC 2015.2 was the last Premiere version to support legacy Tesla-architecture GPUs because although driver development for such GPUs ended in late 2014, security patches were still being written for such GPUs at the time 2015.2 was released. Security patch development for the 340 branch of nVidia drivers ended in April 2016; however, the release of 342.01 was held back to December of that year.

Oh, by the way, the FX 1800 dates all the way back to 2009. And the architecture behind that FX 1800 dates back even further, all the way back to the first 8800 GTX of late 2006! (Though the FX 1800 uses a cut-down version of a GPU that was used in the GTX 260, which was released the same year as the FX 1800.)

Your Quadro FX 1800 is now obsolete, according to both Adobe and Nvidia. And I was wrong about being a cut-down version of the GT200 GPU. It is actually a G94 GPU, with only 64 CUDA cores, that actually dates back to the GeForce 9600 GT from 2008 - but with a cut-down, 192-bit memory bus instead of the original G94's 256-bit memory bus width. CC 2017 does not support the FX 1800 or any of the pre-Fermi GPUs at all for GPU acceleration because it requires driver branch 361 or higher. And your FX 1800's driver version 342.01 is the absolute latest that's available (and will ever be) for your particular GPU. There will be no more new driver releases above 342.01 - ever - for your GPU, according to Nvidia itself.

I import a video at the premiere!

When I play, the video is perforated!
Look the problem:

Hi Charlei,

Download the latest drivers from below links and restart the machine. Make sure in Premiere Pro's file menu>Project settings>General>Renderer, CUDA is selected.
