GTX 970, cannot get GPU accelerated rendering

Hello All,
I'll make this quick because I have to get to work very soon.
System Specs:
GeForce GTX 970
AMD FX 9370 Eight Core
32 GB RAM
Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit)
Although I have not exhausted all of my resources yet, as I have had very little time to actually research the problem, I thought I would come here to ask why I cannot seem to get my GPU to be used in my final renders in AME (or my workspace in AFX for that matter)
I thought that I found the right CUDA drivers but when I downloaded them it said something about an SDK and I was not sure if those were the right drivers to download for my means.
I will be able to explain in more detail when I get off of work this evening but for now this is all of the info that I can provide.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This card should work fine for the OpenGL features in After Effects.
It's just the CUDA acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer that won't work---and you probably don't care about that anyway, since that is a very limited, seldom useful, and essentially obsolete feature; there are better ways to work with 3D in After Effects, such as using Cinema 4D with After Effects.

GTX 470 lack of GPU acceleration

Windows 7 64-bit, 8GB RAM, MSI-branded GTX470, NOT gaming, using with Adobe CS5 applications. CS5 applications are updated to loatest patches.
I've read a few other posts but I still have some questions:
1) If the hardware monitor provided with my GTX 470 is correct, and during effects rendering in Premiere and in transcoding in Encore with AME, GPU % used is about 1%, is that expected?
2) I posted a question on the NVIDIA forum regarding my inability to add Premiere Pro CS5 and Encore CS5 to the list of GPU-accelerated applications using the NVIDIA Control Panel. The *CS4* applications are listed but Control Panel does not allow me to add CS5. I uninstalled CS4 some time ago, before I added the GTX 470.
3) Today when I attempted to load a Premeiere Pro project, I get a message saying that Mercury GPU acceleration "is not available on this system" and "software only" mode will be used. What changed? Any way to recover?
So basically two sets of questions:
a) Shouldn't transcoding use GPU acceleration? Shouldn't rendering in Premiere Pro use it? What else should I expect to NOT use GPU acceleration, aside from video effects, which are pretty clearly marked.
b) Is there a trick to configuring either CS5 or GTX470 to allow GPU acceleration to be used?

Some effects are hardware accelerated, these are CUDA effects, because they use the CUDA engine on the video card. Others are not.
The GPU usage during transcoding is dependant on the source material and the export format. For instance if you start with HD (1920 x 1080) material and transcode to 720x576 SD PAL, the scaling is done by the video card (CUDA enabled). If there is no scaling during the transcode, then there is no assistance from the video card.
The faster the CPU and the memory, the more work can be done by the GPU, but if the CPU is slow, the video card is constantly waiting for the CPU. A Phenom II X4 is pretty slow, so the GPU is waiting for the CPU and will show low usage.
Look at the Background Information page at the PPBM5 Benchmark

Trying to boot with GTX 970 and getting no signal..

Installed a GTX 970 and since then the PC will switch on but I can't even get to the BIOS screen. If I take the card out then it boots fine.
I've tried updating the BIOS and drivers as far as I can but I am now stuck as to what the problem could be.
The lights on the card also come on but the fans don't spin.
The build is currently:
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard
Intel Core i5-4690K
G-Skill 4Gx2 Ripjaws DDR3 2133MHz
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS
Any help would be appreciated.

I would:
I assume this is a single card install?
1. Check card in another PC (if possible)
2. Check PS connections
3. Check PS's ability to output enough wattage
4. Try different monitor connection/cable
See where that takes you... and report back

Cannot use GPU acceleration with 64 bit CS5 under 64 bit Windows 7 with two cards ATI & nVidia

Subject sums up the problem, but here are the details:
My ATI is a 5850, and I have drivers 10.6 installed. That's my primary card connected to my main monitor.
The second card is an nVidia GTS 250 connected to my second monitor with 258.96 drivers.
CS5 does not detect my GPU(s), hence, does not enable GPU acceleration. It says:
"Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable. You will need to upgrade your video driver and possibly your video card" both of which are obviously wrong, since I have the latest CS5 supporting drivers installed for two cards that can run GPGPU applications!
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I'm curious about whether the requirement to support HLSL Shader Model 3.0 is a big part of what is holding back GPU acceleration support for ATI cards in Adobe products. It seems that HLSL Shader Model 3.0 is NVidia/Intel proprietary, whereas GLSL is an open standard like OpenGL.
What ATI support do you find being held back? Just curious. I ask because I have a 2 year old ATI 4670 card that supports Photoshop nicely. The Catalyst software seems to have embraced whatever's necessary to run Photoshop.*

* That said, I see a specific bug where sometimes the 32 bit drivers on my x64 system will not be recognized by Photoshop 32 bit as OpenGL-capable at Photoshop startup. I've reported it to ATI, and they seem to have taken it seriously, so I expect a fix in a future version. The 64 bit drivers always satisfy Photoshop's needs, so I'm sure it's not a design deficiency but just a lil' ol' bug.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Mecury GPU Acceleration CS5.5

Hi all!
I am having problems with my GTX 285, so i am looking to upgrade it. I have found the GeForce GTX 650 Ti card quite cheap, but i need to know, does the Premiere Pro CS5.5 Mecury GPU Playback engine support this card? It ain't listed in the list of supported cards, but it's an Nvidia card so i just wanted to be sure I also need to know: is the new cards on the list, that was added in CS6 also supported on CS5.5?
Thank you in advance

Also, do Premiere use the CPU? I have a quite fast CPU (6 cored 2.7 GHz AMD chip), so if it does, i am pretty sure that it would be able to cover performance the loss from the GPU.
Thanks
/Gammarik
Sorry to say this but your AMD CPU is not a fast CPU when it comes to video editing. If you search around on our 1100 record data base of PPBM5 benchmarks the fastest AMD single chip unit ranks at 502 out of those 1100 tested configuration. This is because AMD does not have some of the latest SSE 4.2 instructions on the chip. This is why Intel is so highly recommended for video editing. If you are using any of the MPE accelerated effects or features an you want the highest quality encoding with minimum encoding time you need an nVidia GPU

How to get GPU acceleration in PhotoShop CS6

Hello,
Ive noticed that initially photoshop will not allow me to use acceleration, I am using a Quadro based Laptop and would really like to benefit from its GPU. I know in Premiere Pro you can edit a File called "Supported GPUs" witch will allow you to use the Murcery Playback engine fine. Is there a way to do something similar in Photoshop?
System specifications:
Dell Latitude E6410
Corei5 520M
6GBs DDR3
Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M

No, there is nothing similar in Photoshop.
What OS are you using?
How much VRAM does your GPU have?
Are there any crashes listed in Help->System Info?
And have you updated your driver from NVidia recently? (you should)

GPU acceleration is grayed out in Premiere and AE, but not in Media Encoder. However, rendering is slow in all 3 programs.

It worked fine in CS6.
Now, everytime I open a project (Pr or Ae) I get the message: This project was last used with GPU Accelerated rendering. This happens with all projects, even with those that I created in Pr/Ae CC, with GPU Accelerated rendering already disabled.
In Media Encoder, the GPU Acceleration is not grayed out, but still if I render a premiere sequence or an ae comp via ME, its very very slow. (takes 5 hours for a video that took 20 mins in CS6)
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Daniel

I think I found the problem. On the website you linked, it says:
The following notebooks are not compatible with this tool:
Notebooks equipped with switchable graphics
Toshiba® notebooks
Sony® VAIO® notebooks
Panasonic® notebooks
And I have a Sony VAIO.
When searching for drivers, I only found sites like these: AMD Radeon HD 7650M drivers
Are these legit?

Black Screen (source and preview) when using GPU acceleration (CUDA) [NVidia GTX 780M]

Hi guys!
I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 7 (Ult) on a machine equipped with NVidia GTX 780M (4 GB VRAM) graphics card. The source and the preview monitors are both black if I select GPU accelerated rendering. There is a yellow bar above the timeline clips, I can hear the sound tracks, but there is no image. If I choose the Software Only rendering (CPU) then I do see the image as well, but the real-time playback and rendering times are awful!
At first, the application would not allow me to use the GPU acceleration using NVidia’s CUDA processing. Once I entered my video card name in the “cuda_supported_cards.txt” file in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 folder I was able to choose between Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration CUDA.
I tried downgrading the video card driver to the previous stable version and reinstall Pr – no go. How do I make Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 work with my NVidia GTX 780M video card?
Your insight is appreciated!
P.S. I used to work on a different machine equipped with NVidia GTX 670M card (which is also missing from the officially supported Pr CS6 cards list) and I never had any issues of this nature with that laptop.

Hi there,
As stated before, I had the same problem. Apparantly the solution for me was to check the Nvidia settings. My setup has both an onboard GPU and a Nvidia GPU (on purpose specifically for video editing and gaming). Normally the system should switch to Nvidia automatically. However, the Nvidia settings for Premiere where set to favor the onboard GPU. After changing this. everything works fine again!
kind regards. Bart

Flash gpu acceleration not working

I can't get gpu acceleration to work it just uses the cpu.
I've watched numerous 1080p videos windowed & fullscreen in firefox and IE on youtube, they play fine but their only using the cpu.
The only thing that i've tested that uses gpu acceleration is windows 7 media player.
E6600 core 2 duo
8800 gts 640mb
Edit: From Adobe support page....
"The desktop player still uses software rendering for this release. Software rendering is used because drivers vary widely on the desktop, and drivers can accentuate rendering differences"
Is it only for laptops ? In the release notes of my desktop driver it says gpu acceleration support for 10.1.

Same Problem with my AMD HD 7450 w/ Catalyst 12.04.
What does "GPUDevice: not available" mean? That is listet in every post here ...

Will GTX 970 work in an HP xw8600?

Hey guys, I'm planning to upgrade my old quadro GPU in an XW8600 workstation.
The power supply is sufficient with two 6 pin connectors, and it has PCI gen 2.0 16X slots.
I only use it for work (adobe premier and after effects mostly), not gaming.
I'm looking at the new gtx 970.
I've read that GTX 780 and 780Ti work well in it but they have Kepler architecture and the new series has Maxwell.
In the long run the plan is to replace the entire system with the HP z620 or z820 series and salvage the new gpu from it, but that will take a bit more time to gather the funds for it.
Here are the specs The PSU is 800 watt 80% efficent.
The current Cpu is a 4 core xeon x5460 3.16 GHZ and 16 gigs ECC ram.
The case is a standard XW 8600 with an ATX MOBO, so its big enough to house it.
I know that the ram and the CPU isn't enough, and it might create the bottleneck, thats why I'm planning to get the HP z620 or Z820.
The new build will probably be :
2x 6 core E5-2600 series
around 40 gigs of DDR3 ECC ram
850 psu
SSD system
2X 7200 RPM HDD in Raid 0
And the above mentionen GTX 970 as the GPU
So will the gtx 970 work in both systems?

You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- xw Workstations section.

MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

Hi guys.
So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
My full setup:
MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i7 4790K
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
Corsair RM 750 PSU
Corsair H80i CPU cooler
Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot

Mercury Playback GPU acceleration in CS5.5 not available, Mercury Playback Software only available

Getting a warning screen each time I open an existing project in PP CS5.5 that says GPU acceleration is not available on my system...when it has always in the past. Editing on a HP Z400 with the NVidia Quadro 2000. I can't figure out how to get GPU acceleration going again. The software only option makes for a painfully slow and clunky edit. Any ideas are gladly welcomed. Hot and heavy deadlines looming...you all know the drill. The warning window I get reads "This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration, which is not available on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used." And there is only an "okay" button to close the window. Also when I try to start a new project GPU Acceleration option is not accessible...defaults to the software setting and it's grayed out.

Hi Joe,
Have you updated your video drivers lately? Any OS updates?
Thanks,
Kevin

GPU acceleration not working when launched via document?

When I open Illustrator alone, then open a file, I get GPU acceleration. (good)
When I open Illustrator by double-clicking a file, I don't get acceleration. (bad)
I'm happy that the latest update made GPU work when I have multiple monitors plugged in but there's still this little bug. One that I can work around but still, not something I imagine makers of the lofty CC should be plagued with.
I'm seeing this behavior in Illustrator 18.1.1 64bit on Windows 8.1.

Mercury GPU Acceleration problem

I have ATI RADEON HD 6750M and Mercury acceleration is greyed out. I'm running 10.6.8. Does anyone have a fix?

Mercury acceleration works only with certain NVidia graphics cards, other than in one or two specific Macs.
So the answer is to buy a new NVidia graphics card - preferably one on the list of approved cards, which Adobe publishes in their information about Premiere Pro.
It is possible to make almost any NVidia card work with Premiere Pro - provided that it has at least 1 GB of memory. There is a simple, well publicised "hack" in which you add the name of your card to a list in a Premiere file in your "C:\Project FilesAdobe\Premiere Pro CS6" folder.
Oops, sorry! I have just realised from your post that you must be referring to a Macbook! In which case forget my second and third paragraphs.
Check the list of Macbooks which do offer Mercury acceleration. If yours is not on the list, I am afraid that at the moment you cannot get the acceleration.

Cannot select "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)" as my Renderer

I have a AMD FirePro 4900 card in my HP Z420 desktop. I bought the card as a result of it being listed as one that supports GPU acceleration (as found on this list). I have updated the driver for the card to the most recent from AMDs site. When I try to create a new project, I am not able to select the OpenCL renderer from the dropdown. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated; this is a clean install (Adobe CC apps are the first thing to be installed on a clean Windows 7 install).

Has been resolved. When doing Windows Update it installed the driver version shown above (v 9.3.3.3000). Even though I had installed the driver through Catalyst Suite it still reverted to the Windows update driver. I did the removal tool (found here) to remove all traces of catalyst, and then reinstalled catalyst, which found the more updated driver (v 12.104.2.0). All seems to be working well and I can select to set my FirePro (open cl) to be the renderer in Premiere Pro! YAY! (see below for updated GPU-Z output, showing OpenCL firing on all cylinders)
