NVIDIA Card with Yosemite and Premiere causing major graphics failure

For sure, Ingo. For now, use Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL). I hope that works out while we await a fix.

The thread on the Adobe form is a little hard to flow, but if I understand it correctly 7.0.35 does NOT contain the fix. It is still unreleased. Is that correct? Because 7.0.35 is worse on my machine, and I mean much, much worse.

Wow. How have I not come across this thread earlier??? After months of suffering through these exact problems, I was about to toss my GPU in the bin thinking it was the culprit. Instead, all I have to do is trash CUDA. Hope a fix is found soon so I can get it back though…

excellent. yeah Adobe keeps sending me surveys and my response with each gets more and more negative. they sure are gearing up after NAB with all these new goodies while seemingly ignoring the major cries of their Mac users. don’t get it. IF there really is a fix on the way, why don’t they give more press on it?

Any other conspiracy theorists out there that think the Mac platform is a far less bang for the buck for Adobe? wondering if we are seeing the end of days for the Mac platform being used for professional apps.

I don’t know about end of days, people have been predicting that the entire time I’ve worked in post, even well before FCP-Gate. The vast majority of post shops and freelancers I know still use Macs and have no interest in anything else. So I also think Adobe is selling plenty of CC subscriptions to Mac users, and not just in the TV/film crowd.
As for Adobe ignoring the problem, it is frustrating. I have actually seen versions of this problem with Mavericks, so it’s been close to a year and a half. I will say it’s also a little unfair to lay the blame strictly at Adobe’s feet. NVIDIA, and Apple don’t even acknowledge the problem at all, at least not publicly. And I believe NVIDIA is most to blame, as it’s their drivers that cause the problem. Premiere, AE, run glitch free using OpenCL. CUDA has caused problems for me in Finder and Safari, when nothing else running.
For now I have uninstalled CUDA, I’ll take the OpenCL perfrmance hit over this mess. I keep an eye on this thred, and a few others on Adobe’s forums, to see if a real fix ever gets reported, but in the mean time, no CUDA for me.

As I have stated many times on this thread, this is not a CUDA or a Yosemite problem. Perhaps it makes it worse, I don’t know, but I use OpenCL exclusively, and I still on Mountain Lion, and I have been dealing with this glitch problem for a couple of years.

Kevin, it’s entirely possible we have different bugs with that produce very similar visual distortion. I agree that it’s not limited to Yosemite, as I have seen the issue on Mavericks. But, as i said in my previous post, I have seen these visual distortions in Finder Safari, and Mission Control, when no Adobe program, none at all, not even the CC app, are running. So that means, the issue I am dealing with is either an OS bug that Apple hasn’t bothered to fix for multiple version of the system, or a CUDA bug. Based on the fact that I haven’t seen the issue on my machine, after uninstalling CUDA, and the lack of larger panic in the non-pro Mac using community, who don’t use CUDA, I have to conclude, the issue I am having is with that technology.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t an issue in PP that causes the same glitches on a Moutnain Lion based OpenCL system.

For what it’s worth I’m currently jumping between a MBP w/an AMD GPU anding running Mountain Lion and a older Mac Pro running Mavericks w/an Nvidia card, and the MBP runs fine while the tower glitches out with CUDA enabled. Same version of PPro (CC 2014), same project file, same media just different machines.
On my tower I have to run in OpenCL or Software mode and even then there are occasional hiccups (GUI slow to update), but nothing show stoping. On a previous project the tower was running Mountain Lion, PPro CC 2013 and I had no problems using CUDA.
I thought I read somewhere (maybe it was NAB-related) that someone at Nvidia said they were aware of the problem and were trying to work on a fix. I can’t find the link though so maybe it was just a dream. 😉
