Premiere Pro: Unsupported driver - Newest NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA website!

[danielg75283542]

Can someone from Adobe explain to me why the newest NVIDIA driver for CUDA supported GPU is not new enough for Adobe software (Premiere Pro and After Effects)?!!! I have tried the newest updated driver from NVIDIA website as well as installing drivers through GeForce Experience. I have tried also a few previous Premiere Pro versions. None of the above helped 😕

Operating System Windows v.10.0.18363.1

1. The current version of your NVIDIA graphics driver may not suitably support CUDA 9.2 and may cause issues for Adobe Premiere Pro. We recommend updating to a newer version for optimal performance and stability. Continuing with an older version of the NVIDIA graphics driver may run in software-only mode and may cause slow playback and other issues that may appear to be a bug.

True. The 525M and all other Fermi GPUs are now completely obsolete, and is now no longer supported by Nvidia itself (driver support officially ended in January 2019 although the last-ever released driver for these GPUs was version 391.35, released at the end of March 2018). Adobe now requires MUCH newer hardware (compatible with driver version 451.77 or higher) just to run anywhere close to properly.

Mahenoor5D56,

You are running 451.67, the driver version that has been known to cause issues with all versions of Premiere Pro, especially version 14.3.2 and later. And this is because it is based on the problematic 451.48 version. You need a newer driver, which your laptop's manufacturer might not have available. You will have to download the newest driver from Nvidia's Web site itself (but don't use version 461.09, which has problems with crashing in Premiere Pro), and then run the installer using the "Perform a clean installation" option.

Be aware that you will not have any hardware decoding or encoding whatsoever with that GPU because the MX330 is based on a Pascal-generation GP108 chip that has no NVENC encoder at all, and that all of the low-end MX GPUs have had their NVDEC decoder disabled during chip manufacture. If your CPU is an Intel CPU, you will have to use QuickSync. Otherwise, you're stuck with software-only decoding.

I really am clueless. Couldn't any modifications would help?

Also. Thanks for the reply tho... I just really am not well equipped with computers. So the whole language sounds alien to me. Please don't mind. And again thank you for being kind enough to reply. 🙂
