NVIDIA Card with Yosemite and Premiere causing major graphics failure

[Joseph Hung]

new Nvidia webdrivers to accompany the new Yosemite security updates…. issue is back again. Happens after a export/transcode using CUDA.

i’m seeing a little of it too.. but so far not intense like ti was. I’m also having issues with multi track audio mixes not be represented accurately after exporting to media encoder and output. seems to not be happening with export inside of PPro.

I’ve been running a 3.4 quadcore iMac 2013 with NVIDIA card and looking to purchase another iMac this year. I’m just wondering if the AMD cards are causing any issues with Adobe products on either Yosemite or El Capitan or if all is well there.

Is there a definitive answer for this problem… the glitchiness issue…. I scanned this thread and some comments are from all over the last year or so but yours seems relatively recent. Is this issue isolated with Yosemite or just a PP and hardware issue. A giant pain in the rear for sure. But I would still prefer PP to FCP X anyday

Have you installed the latest Nvidia and Cuda drivers? Without knowing all the gory details it’s hard to say anything definitively about your workstation, and even worse, it would easy to guide you astray.

Are you using the Nvidia and Cuda apps inside Apple System Preferences to update your drivers? (Not set to auto, but manually). If not, you probably should be.

Before making any changes be sure to clone your boot drive just in case.

The system I am running is par for the course .. MacPro tower 8 core 2009… running Yosemite. I have the
GTX 680 which according Adobe should work. I chatted with Adobe for quite a bit this morning to basically discover that the issue is a combo of the OS, cuda driver, motherboard and the card. Well not too holes to fill there. I have discovered that the issue really becomes apparent when I have multiple sequence tab and pop back and forth. Once the screen becomes glitchy you pretty much have to restart. As well, I found using OPEN CL not CUDA seems flawless so far. Of course Adobe suggest using Mercury engine software only but how practical is that. Adobe has no formula for a good motherboard and specific GPU and OS… They don’t even specifically recommend any card as the best one. SO it seems cuda cores is irrelevant these days

As a general rule, as I have been doing this for 30 years, I do a clean install to new OS on a new drive and a modest migration manually so that I can evaluate apps performance and reliability. You can find out pretty quickly that some things will work and others won’t so with a working boot drive you have some flexibility. Plus I do have some clients who still use FCP 7 so it makes it easier to go back painlessly. The cuda driver in this scenario is installed through system pref using the Nvidia module.

What I cannot get over the size of this thread.. this has been an issue for a couple years it seems. You’d think by now it would not be an issue. I was also told that El Captan does not resolve anything and this seems to be focused on the CUDA driver itself. I guess now I know why some people still use FCP 7 and an old OS.

Still having an issue with my K5000 card. Random Kernel crashes while editing. Nothing specific… I could just be scrubbing the timeline or clicking from one window to another or even just clicking spacebar to play and BOOM…the machine just reboots on it own!!

I have the 2012 Mac Pro 2.66 with 64GB RAM, Nvidia K5000, Dual Dell 4K displays, BM 4K Studio Extreme card running on 10.11.5. I have also seen the glitchy screen issue in the OS and in apps like firefox while web browsing. I can’t seem to shake this bug no matter how many prefs i toss, or reinstalls of CC2015 I do.

I have also swapped this cards into a 2009 Mac Pro and it suffers the same fate!! Major fail on Nvidias end here.

Brian,

Okay, we get that you’ve been very good at trying all the right things in an attempt to fix all of the “secondary” things that might be causing the issues you’ve outlined, but what I haven’t seen from you is any discussion about the OS. How did you get Yosemite on that machine? Did you update over the top of another version? Or, have you installed the Yosemite from the ground up?

Did anyone have a better result or fix the issue after upgrading to El Capitan?

I just saw this post, and I’m having the same kernel panic every now and then.
Not too bad to the point I can’t work, but I would get once or twice a week.

Anyone else found trouble shooting options ?

Hola People,
hey I know this is an old thread, but I’m having this exact same issue.
any real solution? I can’t uninstall CUDA it doesn’t make sense to have a titan x without using cuda.

I was so happy my mac pro was working incredible fast, 4K real time lots of fx dynamic links everything perfect until now! AE started to do this glitches. and now is all over the screen!
