GPU not being used in Adobe Premiere 2018

[ryanw8158232]

I am on a brand new laptop with Adobe Premiere 2018 and an NVIDIA GeFore GTX 1050. When I render I see the CPU go to 100% while the GPU sits idle.

In the settings for Premiere I see the "Renderer" set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" and I made a text file in the directory for Premiere called: "cuda_supported_cards.txt" with "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050" in it.

I installed the latest drivers as well.

What is missing/ wrong with this setup?

thanks

Sorry, but beginning with CC 2015.3, that Quadro FX 5800 and all other Tesla-architecture GPUs such as the GeForce GTX 285 are deemed "obsolete" by Adobe, and are thus no longer supported for GPU acceleration in Premiere. In addition, driver support from nVidia for such legacy GPUs has ended in 2016, and thus are no longer being updated at all.

That GPU is 10 years old and I doubt it is supported any longer.  I could not find anything in my look at nVidia drivers

[RjL190365]

I have just checked. The most recent driver version that was available for the Quadro FX 5800 was version 342.00, released on 10/27/2016. Unfortunately, that would not help the user in question at all since CC 2015.3 or higher requires driver version 365 or later to be supported for MPE CPU acceleration.

On a side note, Fermi-generation Quadro GPUs will no longer be supported in driver version 378 or later. (Fermi-based GeForce GPUs are still "supported" in the 39x.xx GeForce drivers; however, only critical security fixes will apply to those GPUs but no new features or enhancements for those GPUs are being implemented.)

The only thing I'd to do different from the workflow presented by aviralnediratta:

Install latest drivers from Nvidia. So It worked.

have the same problem with 1080 ti, no solution yet

I have FIXED this issue on my system after several frantic hours.    What I had to do was downgrade to NVIDIA display driver version 388.13    This is def an issue with Adobe GPUSniffer not working with newer NVIDIA drivers.   Have your tech people talk to their tech people PLEASE so I can have a driver on my system that is NOT two years old!

1. go to  Advanced Driver Search | NVIDIA   for older drivers
2. download 388.13  install it ( Newer or older versions may or may not work, this one worked for me )
3. I also disabled my Onboard graphic card in Control Panel / Device Manager as GPU Sniffer was picking it up as OpenCL
4. Output from GPUSniffer.exe finally detected my CUDA card (Below)

My laptop has 2 cards, and I can't disable the Intel card. My GTX 860M supports CUDA.
Any ideas on how can I solve this? I only get OpenCL.
PS: I already forced Premiere to use Nvidia card from control panel.

Same happen with me..

then i try my friends card ..

(Its a AMD Asus R7 260x)

2.30 sec sequence
With R7 260x ..6.45sec with Gtx 760..45min & more
GTx not support 2018 but R7 support it..
Adobe Not good.. this is not good

[RjL190365]

Which driver version were you using with that GTX 760? You might have too old of a driver installed for that GTX 760. You see, Premiere Pro CC 2018.1 requires a driver version that includes CUDA driver version 9.0 or higher in order to even enable CUDA GPU acceleration at all. If you continue to use that legacy driver version, the Premiere Pro renderer will be locked to the MPE software-only mode until you update that video driver to a later version.
