Hey guys,

so I updated today to Premiere Pro CC 2015.3 and it doesn't support my graphic card anymore.

Tech specs:

Graphics Card Manufacturer - Powered by AMD

Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon R9 200 Series

Memory Size - 3072 MB

All drivers are updated.

Not beeing able to use the graphic card to render and export makes it all very slow. I tried to activate the OpenCL rendering but it's all greyed out, in Premiere as well as in the media endcoder.

Thanks for your help!

Hi the walkinggiant,

Have you tried this? FAQ: Why is my GPU not available for Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration?

I've noticed my Quadro 3800 is no longer on the supported list.

Premiere Pro System Requirements for Mac OS and Windows

Downgrading back to 2015 enables the card again. It looks like 2015.3 is the culprit not my graphics card. Disappointing but I can't give up hardware acceleration. Too bad.

Hi RdolishNY,

I've noticed my Quadro 3800 is no longer on the supported list.

I just replaced my Quadro 4000. Around a year ago, engineering warned us that our older NVIDIA hardware would eventually not work with Premiere Pro. It may be time to get a new GPU.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello everyone, i didn't speak english very well, i'm Brazilian, but i will post here my solution:

I have a Radeon R9 M265x/8850M dual with Inte HD 4400 on a Dell Inspiron 5537, and my solution is:

1-Go to C:\Windows\System32

2-Select the file "amdocl64.dll" and MOVE to another folder for backup if didn't work

3- Open Premiere Pro CC 2015.3, create a new project and test the Mercury OpenCL

Like if it works

Em português:

1- Vá para a pasta C:\Windows\System32

2-Selecione o arquivos "amdocl64.dll" e MOVA para outra pasta como backup, caso não funcione

3- Abra o Premiere Pro CC 2015.3, crie um novo projeto e teste o Mercury OpenCL

Removing amdocl64.dll did enable OpenCL rendering to be selected, however it caused complete video card/system crashes when rendering out in Adobe Media Encoder. Still not an option.

Anyone with 2015.3 installed who can test the new Crimson driver?

I'm having similar problems with my AMD R9 280. It appears to work ok, but I can't render anything, no matter what codec I choose. Premiere Pro CC just freezes up, and I physically have to switch off the computer by holding down the power switch. It only renders in software mode with the card disabled.

These AMD cards are listed as being compatible on the Adobe website, so I'm hoping for a fix soon.

My PC has an i7 3770 cpu, 16gb ram, and is running Windows 10 64 bit.

Same thing here.....

Running a AMD R7 M270 4GB with the latest hotfix of Crimson Drivers and Premiere CC 2015.3, but, in the brightside.... 4K fotage runs flawlessly, I wonder if it will improve even further.

Export does take 4-5 times more that with OpenCL

Same problem here. I've got a desktop system with iGPU enabled for recording with QuickSync. No chance to use my AMD für Mercury anymore. Only deactivating the intel video card in device manager will let me use OpenCL, but disables the possibility to use QuickSync...
