NVDIA GeForce 8400 GS Incompatability Issue

My Expansion Graphics NVDIA GeForce 8400 GS is quiet old it says it's incompatible with my Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 and I'm not sure if there's still a remedy for this - just hoping. This is why am posting here hoping there's somebody here who has the same issue and was resolved or perhaps have experienced this one.

 

Hoping anybody out there can help me. Thank you very much in advance.

Therer is absolutely no help whatsoever with that GPU. Its support ended completely more than five years ago. Nvidia itself had announced the EOL of support for that GPU and all other first-gen CUDA (Tesla architecture) GPUs way back in 2014, with no new features or bug/compatibility fixes and only critical security fixes being released for new drivers compatible with first-gen CUDA GPUs in driver releases after that EOL announcement. The very last driver for that GPU was released in December 2016, two-and-a-half years after the Nvidia support EOL announcement.

 

In addition, current versions of Premiere Pro require full hardware compatibility with Microsoft's DirectX 11 in order to even run at all. The 8400 GS is only DirectX 10-compliant, and will not work correctly in software that requires DX11.

The only remedy is to get another card, but most likely you need a new computer.
