Question about CUDA
After I installed my GPU (NVidia GeForce GTX 1050) and updated the drivers, I couldn’t find the CUDA driver for the life of me, unlike the day before when I installed it on my other PC that I brought back. I just found the driver and the patch 2, but currently my PC does use CUDA to encode in AME. Should I install the CUDA driver if the PC is already able to use CUDA to encode? I’ll just keep the installers on my desktop until I hear from somebody.

If CUDA is not installed then your PC is not really using CUDA.
It’s therefore not using your GPU at all for the Mercury Playback Engine and Rendering.
AME and the other Adobe products don’t seem to give an error in many cases if you have selected CUDA for your Mercury Playback Engine and CUDA is not installed.I would suggest installing these drivers.
If you would prefer not to then choose OpenCL.\”MY MEDIA MOTO: If you think three copies of your media is enough.
Take a moment to place a value on it and then maybe add two more.

Aha! That explains why sometimes it said I didn’t have CUDA and other times it just “used” it. I will install now. Thanks, Brent.

It says it will replace my current Nvidia driver. Is that correct? Should I replace the driver or just install everything except the driver?

You know, I went ahead and installed and now the PC is acting like total shit. Encodes fail, PPro takes forever to open or close, I re-installed the correct driver for my card and 2 minutes in the screens went black and stayed that way. I had to unplug the PC twice and re-start, the second time I hit F2 until I got the BIOS, then just clicked yes on reset and save and luckily I got my graphics back. I did a system restore to yesterday when everything worked perfectly, but once again a simple 45 second test video “Failed” to encode, and I had to jump through major hoops just to close PPro. Oh, yeah, and CUDA is no longer available since I system restored to before I installed it. I couldn’t leave well enough alone, it was humming along like a champ until I decided to “improve”things. Grrrrrr……

Encodes keep failing, so I tried to encode using Premiere Pro and got this error message one frame into the encode:
WT, uh, F?!?

You shouldn’t have to install CUDA separately. Are you installing the toolkit?
Install your graphics card, update it. Update your Adobe software.
Things should be good.

You do not install a cuda driver for a gtx card on a pc.
If you are having trouble sometimes its worth to roll back the regular driver.———————————————–

Exactly. That’s why I was trying to find out what he was doing. I’m guessing the CUDA developers toolkit.

This is the latest for the 1050 on W10.

Thanks for the responses. I had the latest driver for the GTX 1050. Everything ran beautifully. This morning I added the CUDA full install (toolkit, driver, etc.) That’s when the problems started. So I reinstalled the 1050 driver, and about 2 minutes in my two screens went black and nothing happened. I had to unplug the PC, nothing happened. The second time I did it I hit F2 until the BIOS came up, reset and saved, and this time my displays came back, but Premiere Pro and AME are running terribly.
I did a system restore to when everything was working great, but AME is still failing. It seems there’s a problem with that video for some reason even though it only has some lumetri tweaks. I tried another project and it started encoding, although kind of slow for a 2 minute clip (over 20 minutes and counting) and none of the effects were added even though I had import files natively unchecked.
I don’t have CUDA on the PC now after the restore, I want to re-install the right driver for the 1050 but I’m afraid the screens are going to go black again.
The latest driver shows as being the current installed driver but I had to unplug the PC before it was finished installing so I don’t know if it’s partly corrupted. I just should have left well enough alone, it was running great until I installed the CUDA.
So to sum up your advice (the both of your advices’s) should I uninstall and re install the correct driver and leave CUDA alone?
