cuda_supported_cards.txt no longer present in CC 2014 Premiere Pro, After Effects Folders

Report · Oct 11, 2014

I'm on a "gaming" Win laptop using one of the latest nVidia GPU's, the GTX 880M. Being new--year old really new?--, I had to add it to the list contained in cuda_supported_cards.txt for Pr, AE and AME. With the newest CC 2014 update, these .txt files are no longer present in their respective program folders.

Does this mean that the programs no longer differentiate? If they see CUDA cores they enable the acceleration? Or does this mean they stopped the end-user from by-passing their filters? How to verify if I'm getting the acceleration? I recall having the feature greyed out in previous versions of these programs if I hadn't yet edited the list, and at the moment they are not greyed out despite not having found a list to edit.

I've searched for mention of this change in newest version but have yet found a discussion.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

From CC 2014 menu, select: file / project settings / General

And if the Renderer "drag down" shows a "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" option, then rest assured that Premiere Pro is seeing and using your GPU!

Jim

I ran into this problem with my Quadro FX 2800m. In many cases this issue can be fixed by creating the cuda_supported_cards.txt. I know it is missing in 2014 and 2015.

Here is a quick video on YouTube on how to fix it. The video shows it in CC 2015 but I think that I got it working in 2014 the same way.
