Adobe Premiere Pro System Requirements
System requirements | July 2018 (12.1.2) release of Premiere Pro CC 2018

My system 4GB/Xeon/Win10pro, can Not run Premiere Pro cc 2018 since the minimum is 8GB RAM
After changing RAM to 32GB DDR2 hope run it,  I already ordered RAM from eBay

As Adobe says Optional: Adobe-recommended GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
// My card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 should be a problem running Premiere Pro cc 2018 12.1.2... What you think???

Premiere Pro cc 2018 Not open // go to splash-screen and freezes

But Photoshop cc 2018 Work OK

Tried

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQm8Jlr8iwQ

Product: HP Xw6600 Workstation / XEON E5405 / 26GB RAM DDR2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-Bit) Pro
NVIDIA GTX 260 Graphics Card

but my settings are somehow different from the video solution--- what settings choose for Premiere Pro cc 2018 in NVIDIA Panel 3D...?

[Ann Bens]

The GTX260 wont run with 2018.

The gpu card needs at least 1 gig of vram which it does not have.

[lsepolis]

Photoshop cc 2018 working because needs less VRAM? 

Also if upgrade Graphics card [can you tell URLs min compatible Card for my old PC?] to eg 2GB or more VRAM should work? May due old PC get a used card

Also, this PC has and older CS 5.5 Premiere Pro - what settings choose for this???

[Ann Bens]

Premiere is a whole different program compaired to Photoshop.

Dont think a modern card will help.

Might want to try and get a second hand gtx card as listed above.

[lsepolis]

Also, this PC has and the older CS 5.5 Premiere Pro - what settings choose for this??? in NVIDIA Panel 3D, so as the Premiere Pro CS 5.5 -- opens and Not crash on splash screen...? Before in Windows 7, Pro worked without problems

[lsepolis]

what these settings of Nvidia NVIDIA GTX 260 Graphics Card must be??

[lsepolis]

Product: HP Xw6600 Workstation / XEON E5405 / 26GB RAM DDR2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-Bit) Pro
NVIDIA GTX 260 Graphics Card

can this system run Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 or CS 6...?

[Ann Bens]

Dont think cs5 or 6 will give you any trouble.

Not sure if you will have MPE even if the card is added to the cuda text file.

Set nvidia control panel to default.

[lsepolis]

Thank you for replying

you say:

"Not sure if you will have MPE even if the card is added to the cuda text file."

what is MPE? how what and where is/use cuda text file?

=================================================

What set in the first screenshot >>> ?

"nvidia control panel to default."

what set in the second screenshot?

==================================================

where found Premiere Pro CS 6 min system requirements???

In Windows, for CS6, the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file is located in "Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Premiere Pro CS6." Add the line "GeForce GTX 260" to the text file. Now you will have the GPU enabled.

However, it may not give you much, if any, significant acceleration. Only newer and more expensive GPUs will give you such an improvement. That also depends in large part on the performance of your CPU, which IMHO can't fully utilize even a GTX 1050, let alone a GTX 1650S.

[lsepolis]

I will try the below... is it the same for Premiere pro cs 5...?

Windows, for CS6, the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file is located in "Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Premiere Pro CS6." Add the line "GeForce GTX 260

[RjL190365]

It will, but it will be as slow as molasses. You see, the Xeon E5405 predates even Nehalem, let alone Skylake. In fact, the E5405 is actually based on a dual-CPU-capable version of the Yorkfield Core 2 Quad, which dated all the way back to 2007. As such, you actually have a CPU whose architecture is now 13 years old. That's an eternity in computing terms.

And the GTX 260 is not all that much more powerful than a 9800 GTX: It has only 192 or 216 CUDA cores, depending on the version, and it is based on the same first-generation CUDA (Tesla) architecture that dated back to the original 8800 GTX back in 2006 (albeit in a refreshed version). By the time that CS6 was released, Nvidia GPUs have started to crack the 512-CUDA-core barrier with the introduction of the Kepler architecture.

[RjL190365]

As for this original question, your GPU is already long obsolete. In fact, it became obsolete before Premiere Pro CC 2018 was released. You see, Nvidia had already ended support for all Tesla-architecture GPUs, including the entire GeForce 200 series, back in 2015. Accordingly, beginning with Premiere Pro CC 2015.3 (released in the Fall of that year), Adobe now requires graphics drivers that no longer support legacy or obsolete hardware in order to even use GPU acceleration at all. At the time of CC 2015.3's release, the GeForce 200 series was already in the legacy support phase. Thus, since the very last security-patched driver was released in December 2016, the GeForce 200 series was already obsolete by the time CC 2017.1 was released.

I will try the below... is it the same for Premiere pro cs 5...? Yes same / No differs

Windows, for CS6, the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file ...

Also note that as upgraded to Win 10 from 7

Stopped working the CS 5 Premiere pro in Windows 10

This is one of 5-6 PCs in my photography lab and, in the lab needed this run Premiere  pro nevertheless running also newer versions in other PCs... i have connected legacy hardware in this referred old workstation PC...

[lsepolis]

Premiere Pro CS 5 -  the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file  has the line:

"GeForce GTX 260"

already and Not opens, anything else to try...?

[RjL190365]

Nothing more to try. You see, none of the CS series of Premiere Pro are guaranteed to run properly or at all in any version of Windows 10. Plus, all of the CS series programs had already been EOSL'd by Adobe itself by the time Windows 10 was released.

Therefore, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place with that old system: None of the versions of Premiere Pro that were verified to be Windows 10 compatible will run properly on your system due to the obsolete hardware, while none of the CS versions of Premiere Pro will run properly or at all with that system's installation of Windows 10 simply because they were last patched during the time that Windows 7 remained in mainstream support status but before Windows 10 was first released.

What about using Win 7 Pro as guest VM OS... Virtual machine and install
Premiere CS 5 or CS 6... in this with using a hypervisor like Virtual box
or Vmware Workstation Player...?

[lsepolis]

CS5 or CS6 series of Premiere Pro run OK in Windows 8.1 Pro --- run as a guest virtual machine in Windows 10 host???
