GTX 1050

Hi. I have an Asus ROG GL553VD laptop with a GTX 1050, i7 at 2.8, with 16 Gig of Ram. Whenever I open Premiere, it doesn't "see" the graphics card, and just gives an error about the on board intel driver not being the right one. I have played plenty of games on this in the past, but really just need it to be an editor now.

 

I have searched and searched and found known glitches with the 1050ti but nothing about this issue with a standard 1050.

 

I have a desktop that runs on an old GTX 970 that handles Premiere completely fine up to 1080p, and can do 4k up to a point as it has 64 gig of RAM. Is this card not compatible, or is there some workaround?

 

I reinstalled my graphics driver, reinstalled Premiere, no change.

 

Thanks in advance and stay safe all.

Actually, if you thought that Premiere didn't "see" the graphics card, then it's a good thing. That simply means that the driver that you're using for that GPU is valid. Otherwise, it would have been flagged as "Unsupported video driver" for that GPU. (By the way, the latest driver available for that laptop via the Asus website is too old - version 425.46 -  even though Pascal is still supported directly by Nvidia, with the latest Studio Driver being version 442.19 and the latest Game Ready driver being version 442.74.)

 

Your Intel driver, on the other hand, is too old. And most if not all laptops have both the integrated and the discrete GPUs enabled at hardware level, with no provision at all whatsoever to disable either one. And according to Asus, your laptop has a 7th-Generation Intel Core processor - either an i5-7300HQ or an i7-7700HQ. Theefore, you will need to update the Intel driver (the most recent version available on the Asus website that's verified to work with your particular laptop is version 26.20.100.7325, released on 1/30/2020).

Thank you so much! I actually exported a diagnostic and saw that it did see. I installed the driver that the Adobe article suggested, but it did seem to slow me down a hair. I think perhaps it was older than the one you are suggesting here. But the error did go away and everything loaded up, and the scrubbing was smooth, but I haven’t had a chance to really get to work on it.

 

i seriously appreciate all of the help! Thank you all so much.

If you can safely disable the on-board Intel chip, you could try that. But on some laptops the CPU and on-board graphics chip are designed to function together and you can't. If that is the case for yours, it could be a problem as the older graphics chips are no longer supported, and Premiere will have issues with it.
