Will a Geforce GTX 1050 Ti be compatible with Premiere Pro? [Was: Graphics card?]

Does anyone know if this graphics card will be compatible with Premiere Pro CC? It's not on the list of recommended specs so I'm not sure if it has to be one of those.

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050TI 4GB

List is not accurate anymore.

If the card has at least 1 gig VRAM it will work.

Dont think mentioned card will be a problem.

It'll work fine.

Yes. But whether it's worth it depends in large part on the CPU that the OP is going to use it with. One would not want to use it in a system that's equipped with a high-end 14-core CPU because the GPU would then become the limiting factor. However, that same GTX 1050 Ti would be perfectly fine in a lower-end PC with only a quad-core CPU.

I understand your idea, but disagree with your phrasing.

It'll function regardless of CPU choice (assuming a compatible motherboard).  It will show the GUI and accelerate various render jobs.  It'll "work".

You're talking about efficiency of the system as a whole, which is a valid subject, but not the question directly asked.

    I am honestly pretty sure it's an new graphics card so I don't know why it won't

    Here's why it isn't listed:

    Adobe could only test so many different GPUs, and when it tests GPUs, it tests most of the Quadro workstation GPUs but only the most expensive high-end GeForce gaming GPUs. So, Adobe can only list what it has tested. And the Quadros that Adobe tested have hardware specs that are comparable to those of many of the lower-end GeForce GPUs, so Adobe doesn't test the lesser GeForces.

    If on the other hand Adobe tested a given GPU, and found it to be incompatible with the MPE GPU acceleration mode, then Adobe would have listed that GPU on a separate list called "should be used only in MPE Software Only mode".

      So, does this mean the gtx 960m will still do the job?

      I am sorry to tell you this, but you have practiced poor forum etiquette. Responding to a thread with information that is not relevant to the original topic whose last response was a long time ago (a practice called "thread necroing").

       

      With that said, as I have told another poster about the GTX 960M, it is effectively no longer supported in any currently available version of Premiere Pro. Here are the reasons why:

       

      • There are absolutely no Studio Drivers available at all for that GPU and any other 900-series and earlier GeForce GPUs.
      • The GTX 960m is not a true 900-series GeForce GPU at all - but it is actually a first-gen Maxwell part (GM107) which debuted in the GTX 750 series GPUs back in 2014 - more than seven years ago (whereas the desktop GTX 960 was based on the second-gen Maxwell GM206 part).
      • Beginning with the 440-series Nvidia graphics drivers, CUDA support for GPUs up to and including the first-gen Maxwell (GM1xx) parts have been depreciated: In the case of the GTX 960M, CUDA support is restricted to only CUDA 10.1 level even if the CUDA software itself is CUDA 11.x. In the near future, CUDA will be disabled at driver level for all legacy GPUs up to and including the GTX 960M.
      • Finally, at some point in the near future Nvidia will discontinue new driver releases for these older GPUs.

       

      As it stands, don't be surprised that you have some stability and/or quality issues if you run any newer version of Premiere Pro with that GTX 960M. Adobe now requires a newer version of CUDA than what the GTX 960M supports at hardware level in order to run properly.
