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.

The OP system is a perefect build. The GPU, CPU and RAM are just fine. If you want proof check out link. My RTX 2070 is the weakest link.

I think you're making assumptions from my comments that I can't see. I never said the op had a 12 core CPU. I never said any editing would require 128GB of RAM. Never implied that, that I can see. But apparently just mentioning that some have such machines qualifies to you as suggesting everyone should. Weird.

 

I do know quite a few people that work in post across several apps, and depending on the app, different things are needed. As mentioned, many of my contacts are colorists, and they run rigs up through 256GB of RAM, which just seems astounding to me. But in some apps they get real-time output encoding at frame-rate speed or better, with 10/12-bit media at 6k or so. Yowza.

 

I would consider 32GB of RAM to be adequate for Premiere. I don't like questioning RJL's comments as the guy knows a ton about hardware more than I. But at the same time, I've known of people that jumped from 32 to 64 or 96GB of RAM, and had better performance with the upper CPUs they were also using in Premiere. I've seen benchmark tests run that consistently show better performance in Premiere with 64GB of RAM compared to 32. I've seen plenty of testing that prefers say upper core counts and 64GB of RAM for working with interframe media.

 

On my rig, if the media is giving me troubles, I t-code or proxy of course. Which I've no problem with, though many for some reason find that an onerous task. But everyone feels and sees their workflow differently.

Neil,
You first implied 32 GB was way underbuilt. You are now saying 32 GB should be adequate for Premiere Pro. What made you change your mind?

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.
