Hi,

I have just clicked on "continue with known issues" and have been able to capture video.  will the project freeze or crash when i attemp to render/edit?   What is the worst that can/likely will happen?

Thanks,

Peter

There is a very good possibility of frequent crashes and/or corrupted renders with such an old and obsolete GPU. In addition, your GTX 580 will not be utilized at all in Premiere Pro even if it were supported as most GTX 580's have only 1.5 GB of VRAM - well below the 2 GB minimum of VRAM that newer versions of Premiere Pro now require.


Update: I have been able to edit my project with no issues with the unsupported graphics card.  Very glad

Sorry, but your GPU's support rug has been pulled out from underneath you. Nvidia had completely discontinued all support for that GTX 580 and all other Fermi GPUs almost four years ago. The last driver that was compatible with Fermi GeForce GOUs, version 391.35, dated all the way back to the end of March 2018. There will be no more further fixes ever for these now-almost-12-year-old GPUs.

 

Worse, Adobe, in newer versions of Premiere Pro, now require a graphics driver that's no more than three or four months old to even be deemed "supported."

 

Thus, your only choice at this point is to get a completely new GPU. Unfortunately, GPU prices are still insanely high after the 2020 skyrocketing of real-world resellers' prices, so you'd be lucky to even get a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti for anyhwhere close to $300 - nearly double what it originally cost when it was released over five years ago.

I appreciate the context.  But, can Premiere do its job with that old GPU? I OK with slower rendering/previewing, not OK with repeated crashes.

That old card is probably of no use to Premiere whatever. I highly doubt it will recognize nor utilize it. Which means the CPU will be handling all things that a GPU might be tasked with, similar to what would be the case without the card even in the computer.

Your project may well work, depending on the rest of your hardware. But that is in computer terms, a truly ancient GPU. Premiere will simply not be able to use it.

So, if I continue on the road of this big editing project, is it a big gamble it will work?  It is performing fine for now.  Or, spend $300 on a new video card?   Thanks

hard to predict, so it depends on how crucial your system is to your life...  If you can find a better graphics card that will work with your system (not easy in the current environment) you'll probably see performance benefits including faster rendering and previewing...  so it's probably worthwhile...
