January 6, 2016 at 6:49 pm in reply to: Installing both the drivers for the Nvidia card and Cuda – for Premiere 9.1?

I installed the CUDA driver, selected it in Premiere, and everything smooth. This machine is a beast, wow. And the Nvidia CUDA seems to be working, the reason I can guess, is because, yesterday, I opened several time-lines or Sequences in Premiere, and saw a lot of sections that we RED (un-rendered), and even though the CUDA was not enabled, the Software Only feature, with this amount of RAM, the playback was smooth, HOWEVER, with opening the same timelines or sequences today, after CUDA enabled, ALL of the sequences are now YELLOW, I have no RED stuff at all, not that it mattered during playback FULL or 1/2 quality, using Software ONLY, but now with the CUDA, nothing is in RED, or showing that is needs to be rendered. WOW! Thanks Dave!

So for now, I’m back to editing and being creative.

Its actually the Quadro K4000, yes, that I have in this machine. I did find and install the latest CUDA driver, and it showed up in Premiere and I clicked on it, so I guess it’s now working ok, because it’s selected. Do I still need to install the actual card driver? Here’s the website view, not sure which of the 5-6 specific drivers, for the Quadro K4000:

So, I found this website:

https://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe-premiere-pro-cc.html

And downloaded the latest CUDA driver here:

https://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html

And when I installed the CUDA, this icon suddenly appears in My System Prefs:

So, I guess this means CUDA is installed, and then I opened Premiere Pro 9.1, and this ( 3rd option ) a new box shows up: “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)”,

When I click on “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)”, my video previews DO NOT go away, like if I select “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL)”, it looks like this:

So I change it back to “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)”, my video previews come back up:

So, HOW do I know that the CUDA is working?

Jon,

I have a question for you. When you set up Premiere Pro 9.1, I recently upgraded my MacPro, here are the specs:

Should I set the PP CC set it to “Preformance” or “Memory”, and how many GBs RAM should I allocate to run Premiere, if that’s my primary workhorse app?

Is this ok?

David,

When you have time, let me know what I’m missing…I don’t think Premiere Pro is using or even recognizing the Nvidia card…

Thanks,

They guy that I got the Mac from, said I shouldn’t have to install anything…? Where on my mac can I check this? How do the drivers work? Will they work on my Mac? Any issues? Any better or best versions of drivers, or ones to “avoid”??

I’ve also heard people installing newer or newest drivers, then Premeire having issues with the cards after that, and then having to revert to a previous version. This actually happened on my other MAcPro that I bought a few years ago. An IT guy installed a ATI Radeon 5770 card into my 2006 MacPro, and it worked ok with CS6, but then, I wanted to try and use the card for GPU acceleration, and the “Mercury Playaback GPU” part was greyed out int Premiere, so I installed a newer driver, and thought that that would fix the problem, but after install, and opening Premiere, the video signals were all bad, no video playback, noisy, fuzzy, digital artifact video, so.

I’m all ears, what do I do?

December 22, 2015 at 9:13 pm in reply to: Adobe-certified GPU cards – Quadro 400 with Premiere Pro (CC 2015)?

Does a 4GB Quadro 4000, inside a 12-core MacPro (2010) make any difference? Rather than buying a GeForce 980ti and flashing it and using it inside a 12-core MacPro (2010) ? Is there a performance and price jump? Or is it a situation of older card vs newer card and one being more current and the other one being more outdated soon?
