NVIDIA Card with Yosemite and Premiere causing major graphics failure

I have a long standing case with Nvidia about this problem and I bug there asses about it once every two to three months. Seems they know about this CUDA issue and really don’t give a damn about it. I pretty much get the same canned reply every time. “It’s in the Que and may never be resolved”

I have found a couple of things that did make a bit of a difference. I sent one of my cards into MacVidCards to get Mac Firmware on it which helped a bit but definitely didn’t solve it.

Now here’s where it gets weird, after a ton of research I found out that the Asus Monitors I was using have this problem on pretty much any Nvidia GTX Video Card that exists wether on Mac’s or PC’s. After getting nowhere with Asus for Firmware Updates I switched out my monitors and all the glitches are gone. I unfortunately still run into the same hard crashes now and then with AME and on a more regular basis with DaVinci Resolve though. It really P.O.s me that my cheaper Asus Monitors are fine but the expensive ones glitch. One more note about this, if I use Display port to DVI or HDMI Adapters (both active or passive) the glitches are far more severe than just using the DVI and HDMI Ports.

To stop Resolve from crashing when I have really large, long Transcodes to do; I do a complete system shut down first. Once I’m up and running again I start the transcode and make sure I do absolutely nothing else on that system. I have found that even Web Browsers, especially Safari cause these crashes to happen far more often while either AME or Resolve are Transcoding.

Gee, Brent, your problems sound AWFULLY similar to the ones I had. Maybe your computers are real “crap”.

Brent, so this problem also happen in PC ?
then all my conspiricy idea of Apple preventing a solution is not valid anymore. haha

I took the Graphic card out and put it back again an now is working fine. hope it keeps like that. I have a client coming today to edit

Touché Duke, maybe they are.

Hi there

Was there ever any definitive resolution to this issue?

I have been having this for a while and just put up with it till I found this thread!

I thought it was my graphics card so I bought a new card – I must admit it did seem better for a while (several weeks) and today it has just started again????

See picture attached:

Help me Creative Cow. Your my only hope…..

Thanks

Hi Julius,

Just recently, Peter Kirst from the NVIDIA Workstation team wrote on the Adobe user forums that he’d be happy to have an offline conversation with anyone that can provide steps to reproduce these corruption issues.

You can see his post here https://forums.adobe.com/message/9766096#9766096

Definitely, reach out to him!

Just as an update for anyone still monitoring this thread…

I bought a Radeon card (R9 280x – 3GB) to test. So far it has been very good – there was a slight glitch the first day but since then it has not glitched out once or given me the constant screen issues I was getting.

Obviously there is no CUDA – but I never used that anyways – always just OpenCL

The render time for a test sequence I had was slightly slower with the Radeon card – but nothing to be too worried about (it is a 3GB card as opposed to the 4GB Nvidia card)

I did end up with the new OS Metal as a ‘rendering and playback’ option with this card as well – but testing this I noticed considerably longer render times…

Just thought I would pass this on. Hope it is useful…

Hi guys,

I’m video editor, using premiere pro CC and after effects CC (last versions)

I have a 2009 mac pro 4.1 with EL CAPITAN and with a recently installed NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB, I installed Nvidia drivers (346.03.15f09) and CUDA driver Version: 8.0.90

it looks like all is correct and updated, I have activated CUDA in premiere and in after effects… but I don’t really see any faster performance when I’m editing and especially with the previews… perhaps a little bit… but very very little… I had a prehistoric Nvidia Geforce GT 120 512 MB, so with the GTX 970 I must see an enormous difference right??? why is this??? I’m really worried with this issue…

any help will be really appreciated!!!

thank you very much

I also have the GTX 970 and the most noticeable performance is smooth hi-res playback of all media without rendering.

If you’re not able to take advantage of the real time playback then my guess is that the Mac you have it in is not powerful enough. The benefit of a better graphics card will be mitigated if you don’t also have a fast CPU and plenty of RAM.
