How to make Premiere CS5 work with GTX 295

Postby marvguitar on 01 May 2010 22:38

I figured out how to activate CUDA acceleration without a GTX 285 or Quadro... I'm pretty sure it should work with other 200 GPUs. Note that i'm using 2 monitors and there's a extra tweak to play with CUDA seamlessly with 2 monitors.

Here are the steps:

Step 1. Go to the Premiere CS5 installation folder.
Step 2. Find the file "GPUSniffer.exe" and run it in a command prompt (cmd.exe). You should see something like that:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device: 00000000001D4208 has video RAM(MB): 896
Device: 00000000001D4208 has video RAM(MB): 896
Vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string: GeForce GTX 295/PCI/SSE2
Version string: 3.0.0

OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
OpenGL Version 2.0
Supports shaders!
Supports BGRA -> BGRA Shader
Supports VUYA Shader -> BGRA
Supports UYVY/YUYV ->BGRA Shader
Supports YUV 4:2:0 -> BGRA Shader
Testing for CUDA support...
Found 2 devices supporting CUDA.
CUDA Device # 0 properties -
CUDA device details:
Name: GeForce GTX 295 Compute capability: 1.3
Total Video Memory: 877MB
CUDA Device # 1 properties -
CUDA device details:
Name: GeForce GTX 295 Compute capability: 1.3
Total Video Memory: 877MB
CUDA Device # 0 not choosen because it did not match the named list of cards
Completed shader test!
Internal return value: 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you look at the last line it says the CUDA device is not chosen because it's not in the named list of card. That's fine. Let's add it.

Step 3. Find the file: "cuda_supported_cards.txt" and edit it and add your card (take the name from the line: CUDA device details: Name: GeForce GTX 295 Compute capability: 1.3

So in my case the name to add is: GeForce GTX 295

Step 4. Save that file and we're almost ready.

Step 5. Go to your Nvidia Drivercontrol panel (im using the latest 197.45) under "Manage 3D Settings", Click "Add" and browse to your Premiere CS5 install directory and select the executable file: "Adobe Premiere Pro.exe"

Step 6. In the field "multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration" switch from "multiple display performance mode" to "compatibilty performance mode"

Step 7. That's it. Boot Premiere and go to your project setting / general and activate CUDA

Hope this helps

      Correct answer Cineurosis

      Note that this will only work with cards that have 765MB or more of RAM.

      OK I changed the copied txt file name from copy to old, then I duplicated the locked original txt file and changed the name of the original to new and the duplicate to CUDA_SUPPORTED_CARD.TXT which replaced the original file, then having three files I deleted the original file that was changed to new then booted up Premiere CS6 and behold The Mercury Playback Engine GPU was available problem solved. Thanks Bill for your assistance have a good one.

      No I suppose I could do that, right now its called copy as per the information of what to do if you have a problem you can go back to the previous accepted card text file. I also heard that updating my card might work also with current drivers if they are not current. The name does match though as you can see in the accepted card text file on the bottom.

      I only have one card and I know it says two, but I only have one Titan GTX Black maybe it says that because I made a copy of the text file as a safety measure.

      Have you tried renaming your second text file with some thing on front of the file name like "old"

      I have tried, and have not been able to get my card "GeForce GTX Titan Black" to work in Premiere Pro CS6 below is what shows in GPU Sniffer, and at the bottom is what shows in my Cuda Supported card text, any help would be much appreciated I am on a Mac. Thanks in advance. Gary

      Since CS6 does not support two GPU's you might try removing one card to see if that helps.

      Well I did read it, and got to  GPUSniffer.exe" and run it in a command prompt (cmd.exe).

      How do you do that.?

      The last time I had this issue I did a clean install of CS 5.5.2 and it worked , but, it did mean I had to reinstall the Pro Dad Stablizer, I do not want to do that again ?

      Can it not be any easier ?

      This STILL works! 5 years later. I added my GTX 760 using this method and viola! cuda enabled. Thank you.

      Whenever I try to run GPUSniffer.exe it opens for a few seconds, showing nothing - and then all the information briefly flashes across the window and it closes itself before I can even read the file.

      I have tried opening it multiple times, as an Administrator, with troubleshooting, etc. but nothing is allowing me to actually open this program.

      This pretty much renders this fix useless, and I'm desperate to fix this problem - so if anyone has a solution to this bug I'd be very appreciative!

      My proj settings, general, video rendering playback is grayed out  so I can't change it. It's on Mercury Playback Engine Software only.

      Hi Peter,

      Your GPU might not be powerful enough. Which kind of NVIDIA card do you have?

      Thanks,

      Kevin
