Problem with CUDA Nvidea RTX2080ti & Premiere 2020

Hi, I'm running a new PC with following Specs

OS: Windows 10 Pro, 64 Bit

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K, 8x 3600 MHz

Graphics: ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, ASUS DUAL-RTX2080TI-11G, 11 GB GDDR6

MB: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING

RAM: 32 GB DDR4-RAM, Dual Channel (2x 16 GB), 3200 MHz,

SSD: 1000 GB M.2 PCIe SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus

Since the first day I'tryed to get the CUDA accerleration to work. 

The graphic card is said to be supported, but no success, even not with the latets driver of nvidea (445.48) Sometimes for short sequenses it runs , mostly not. Error: Adobe Player "xy" or CUDA not supported. I'm really fed up, cause it takes me like 12 hours to render a n 8 Minute 4K sequence. when I switch to to DaVinci Resole 20 minutes. Anybody any idea?

Now I switched to 442.92 driver, but tehre's definetly no CUDA acceleration at all (error as before: low level exeption Adobe Pyaer, no CUDA) . It runs faster, yes, but CPU sometimes goes up to 100 %, which might become a cooling problem.

You have a rig way over-built for GPU, way under-built for RAM, which I don't quite get. Huh. Only 4GB of RAM per core, that's quite a limiter right there. Yea, only 8 cores, but at 3.6Mhz for base speed they're decently fast too.

 

Are the two GPU's in SLI mode, any chance? That definitely would cause an issue in Premiere.

 

12 hours to render an 8 minute 4k sequence ... what's the media? What effects applied?

 

Those are both crucial questions, as Premiere doesn't currently use the GPU for basic encoding, that's  a CPU task, and with your low amount of RAM, only 4GB/core, your rig cripples your CPU.

 

My other curiousity is the use of only one drive. M.2's of course are fast, but when running the OS, programs, cache, Premiere, and media from one drive while writing media to that same drive, that's a load that would be far better handled if split between two or three additional drives.

Actually, the "DUAL" in the graphics card's name is misleading. The OP actually has only a single GPU in that system. The "DUAL" in the card's name merely advertises the fact that that Asus card simply has two fans, unlike some RTX 2080 Ti cards that have three or more fans.

 

And although 4 GB per core is somewhat less than ideal, there might be even more problems with more RAM installed. That's because of the way memory controllers work. You see, memory controllers work best with only two ranks of memory per channel. But with readily available DIMMs, 64 GB in a dual-channel memory controller would require 4 ranks of memory per channel. And then, some memory controllers will cut the memory controller's clock speed (and thus total throughput) significantly when more than two ranks per channel are occupied. In fact, I have seen modern memory controllers that technically support DDR4-3600 memory with only two sticks will reduce that all the way down to DDR4-2133 maximum with four sticks. No wonder why some PCs actually perform worse with 64 GB than with 32 GB. Conversely, using only one rank per channel will result in the failure of the memory controller to be utilized to its fullest (and here is where systems with only 16 GB of RAM using modern single-ranked DIMMs will underperform otherwise identical systems with 32 GB of RAM using the very same RAM chips but in a dual-ranked configuration because the memory controller, which assumes that double-ranked DIMMs are used in each channel, will treat single-ranked DIMMs as having only 32 bits per channel when it's really a 64-bit memory channel).

 

And unfortunately, 32 GB DIMMs are still much more expensive (on a per-GB basis) and harder to find than 16 GB DIMMs.

All of the 445.xx drivers have known issues with Premiere Pro. Every single one of them. And that's because there are absolutely no Studio Driver at all whatsoever in that GeForce driver branch; only Game Ready drivers were ever released in the 445.xx series so far. None of the newest Game Ready drivers were ever tested with content creation apps at all. That completely mirrors the situation with Quadro drivers, where no 445.xx driver version has been released yet. The latest Studio Driver version for GeForce GPUs currently stands at version 442.92.
