hi,

i just installed Premiere Pro on my computer (self built), and i have updated and performed a clean install of the latest NVidia drivers for my graphics card, but for some reason my graphics card won't help render live view. the CPU goes to 100% even when dropped to 1/8, and i can't watch actually see what my transition effects or general effects are doing or even adjusting them. please help.

running latest version of premiere pro, and yes i have enabled gpu acceleration in project settings.

 

specs:

I7-7700k 4.2Ghz

GTX1080

16GB RAM

500GB PCIE SSD

windows 10

    OMG, I finally got it to work!. I uninstalled Creative Cloud, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder all AGAIN for the umpteenth time AND the drivers again. Then I ran the CC cleaner tool. Reinstalled the 451.77 driver, then the CC and Premiere, and then just for the hell of it I installed the 451.77 driver again on top of itself -- fired it up and it finally plays , including the 57GB 4k 10-bit 4:2:2 file that spurred me to install Premiere since it won't run on DaVinci Resolve. I've been installing and uninstalling the same things over and over again for three days, including other Nvidia drivers as well. But finally, the drivers that installed on my second try finally worked on the about the 12th installation.


    I think, at this point I'm going to buy Resolve Studio for $300 and only use Adobe when absolutely necessary -- and for Lightroom, but if anyone can suggest something they like more than Lightroom for organizing and color correcting images, please let me know.

    I've got the same problem dude, this must be something to do with an update with NVidia drivers or Premiere Pro - or both.It's honestly so ridiculous tho cos Premiere has been working fine on my computer up until like 2 days ago. The program is literally unusable for me rn ugh.

      Same here, except I wasn't running Premiere until I moved it to my new machine yesterday. Everything has been running great in Resolve for 2 months -- and still is. I never could have imagined these issues wih my brand new ASUS Zephyrus G14 with specs that smoke nearly every Intel-based laptop. I hope they fix it soon... I'll be sticking with Resolve no matter what though now.

        You did not specify which Nvidia GPU you actually have. Newer versions of Premiere Pro now no longer support any GPUs that are more than two or three generations old. That will tell us which driver version is compatible, and whether or not Nvidia had depreciated CUDA support for a given GPU in the required driver version.

          I didn't see that at first.

           

          The newest version of both Premiere Pro and the newest version of the main Creative Cloud desktop app has detected major issues with all older Nvidia drivers up to and including the 451.67 Game Ready driver. The issues with the older driver versions that are making 14.3.2 choke have effectively disabled all GPU-based hardware acceleration when Premiere Pro is run with these older drivers. The fix is to update the graphics driver to the 451.77 Studio Driver or the 452.06 drivers. None of the other driver versions will work properly in the newest version of Premiere Pro.

          Are you on Software Only perhaps?

          What do you mean by this? I specified that I was using the Cuda accelerated option?

          OK must've skipped that bit, some effects in your timeline are GPU accelerated, and some aren't. You can tell the difference by clicking the little icon which looks like a play button in your 'effects' window. Apply a GPU heavy effect on a clip and see if your GPU helps you.
