Resolve and Premier CS5 video card configuration

Posted by Mika Joon on October 19, 2010 at 4:31 am

Hi There

Because of Davinci resolve special dual Nvidia card configuration GT 120 slot 2 for displays and GTX 285 slot 1 for resolve

when selecting Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration in Premier which card is used for acceleration, the one connected to the displays or would premier recognize the more powerful card in this case the GTX 285 which is not connected to any display.

is there a way of telling Premier which card to use for acceleration?

thanks in advance

The GT120(GT9500) isn’t on the cudacardlist.txt which Ppro CS5 checks on startup, the GTX285 is so thats the one choosen.

Im using the same set up but with an ATi2600 HD as my monitor GPU. When I fire up PR i can select between software Mercury Engine and GPU one…So im guessing that PR is detecting my GTX285.

I been meaning to just install the ATi2600 and take out the GTX285 and fire up PR to see if PR let me switch between software and GPU..The reason I want to try this is that I heard that, if there no GPU with CUDA is install PR only let u use the Software only option on the ME tab. Going to try to this… this weekend.

BTW I don’t think the GT120 is a CUDA card..that why BMD recommend that card to be use for the GUI.

There is no need to “test” the ATI card only config for Software only Mercury option in PPro. Unless you have one of the supported CUDA cards from nVidia you won’t get any GPU Accelerated option with an ATI card as they don’t use CUDA technology and aren’t detected at all in PPro.

I’ve got the same question, and seems it’s still speculative. Does anyone know for sure? I guess if you remove support for the GUI card on the .txt file P Pro will automatically go to the supported card, which is the one being used for GPU Compute in Resolve?

I’ve just posted this same question here:

Your help and insight is appreciated
