GPU Acceleration not working... ...When it's already ON???...

[Kamil32390247bvdt]

I had this error since I started using premiere (1 year) but never needed the solution as much as now. Basically I have CUDA GPU acceleration ON, all the time, but somehow, the red box - "This effect requires GPU acceleration" still blocks my renders! I have no idea why would that happen because my gpu is capable to run GPU acceleration.

Do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).

@Kamil32390247bvdt This can happen if your GPU effect is applied before a software-only effect. In order to apply the software-only effect, Premiere will render everything up to the software-only effect in software. You can put the GPU effect as the top-most effect (e.g. applied last) as a workaround.
