Enabling GPU Acceleration in Premiere CS6 for Unlisted Cards
If this method doesn’t work for you, then you will want to use the following procedure to add your card to the cuda_supported_cards.txt. I can confirm that this method works for me as I’ve renamed my cuda_supported_cards.txt to cuda_supported_ and Premiere will happily start up and provide CUDA acceleration. Instead you can delete-or rename the file if you want to keep the original-and Premiere will assume your card is supported and enable CUDA. It turns out, you don’t actually have to add your card to cuda_supported_cards.txt file.
In a move I never would have believed, thanks to Danny in the comments, I’m updating this for an even easier way to implement GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro.
Enabling GPU Acceleration The Easy Way for Premiere Pro CS6 The officially supported hardware list for Creative Cloud is available here. Creative Cloud 2014 users, should be able to enable GPU acceleration using any Nvidia card newer than a GeForce 200-series, any AMD GPU newer than a AMD Radeon HD 6000 series, some AMD A10 APUs, and Intel’s Iris and Iris Pro iGPUs in their Haswell and newer CPUs. Adobe now supports OpenCL, a cross platform API that is implemented by Nvidia, AMD, and Intel in some form or another. On Windows, Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6 do not support AMD or Intel GPUs at all.Ĭreative Cloud 2014 improves the situation for AMD and Intel users. Premier Pro CS6 officially supports only the cards in that list, and while there’s no guarantee it will work, so long as your card is at least a GeForce 200 series or newer, it should be able to accelerate GPU enabled effects. The default list of supported cards is stored in the file cuda_supported_cards.txt, in your Premiere Pro directory. This is especially true for modern Nvidia gaming cards where even low end cards are more powerful than the high end cards that were enabled in CS6. the GeForce line, can be used for CUDA workloads. Fortunately while it’s not supported by default in Premiere, most Nvidia gaming class cards, i.e. There’s probably a number of us out there that are using Adobe’s Premiere Pro CS6 to edit video for indy level and zero budget projects and as that usually implies there’s 0 budget for a professional graphics solution to get things flying.
