David what "I wouldn't use RAID 5 for my editing PC"????
You also get a very good safety if something goes wrong (has occurred several times for me where I could easily just replace the failed disk without losing material) I and my Colleague have used this raid 5 in 3 years now and it's fast enugh with no problem what so ever!! This is our last film we made with one such raid system with over 4 hours of material in the bin and timeline. (in Swedish thought) |

type "cmd" without the "" and then at the prompt type c: cd "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5" GPUSniffer.exe |
Wow I converted my footage to DVCpro HD using a free tool from Panasonic. I know it uses lik 4X the space but Wow! thats some performance! VERY smooth.
|
Using the GPU hack with a GTX 260 works fine in most conditions, but I have a problem when I import HDV material (m2t 1440*1080i) to a Blackmagic 1080i59 8-bit YUV project. The video is downscaled by a factor of 1.33. If I switch to non_GPU mode, the scaling is correct. 1920*1080 footage is OK in GPU and software mode. I don't know if this effect is related to this hack, a decklink driver problem or a general bug.

Command prompt
Please advise, I can not figure out how to get the command prompt thing to work. It keeps telling me "program in not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Any advice would be appreciated.

Download and run the the following: http://www.northern-loop.tv/Video/gpu.cmd Its just a basic batch file that runs the GPUsniffer in the default CS5 directory. Hope it helps, David |
If you are on windows 7 here are the steps. For XP it's the same but instead of search field it's the RUN menu.
1. Click the Start Menu Button 2. In the search field (Search programs and files) type: cmd 3. You will see a black icon at the very top called "cmd", click on that. 4. Go to your Premiere CS5 installation folder and drag the file "Gpusniffer.exe" into that "cmd" window(Black window with white text in it.) 5. Press enter to run the Gpusniffer program. |
Thanks guys, I think I got it! Although in the playback window it looks like I am getting a 4:3 aspect ratio
|
Curious, should I even bother trying this with my card?
ASUS ENGT240/DI/1GD3/A GeForce GT 240 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card I'm running Win 7 64bit, i5 860, 12Gb DDR3 RAM, single monitor. Thanks, Roy |

David, I assume the fix is to just change the cuda_supported_cards.txt file back and save it. And change the Nvidia field "multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration back. I wasn't able to get the 3d setting to add Abobe Premiere Pro CS5. Maybe that was the problem. BTW, I have CS4 and I downloaded the trial of CS5 because I am waiting for it to ship from Videoguys.
|
Just changing the text file will be enough for a single monitor. Open Pr and switch on MPE and test
|
Do you think we will get faster MPE performance with 1 monitor VS 2?

Has anyone got a GTX 480 to test it with? |
Quote:
Hopefully after my work day ends, I'll do some more testing with non-accelerated effects. |
Quote:
If you could do some export times that would be great MPE vs Not |
Effects were: Gaussian Blur (I believe), Noise (cranked just about all the way up), Fast Color Correction, B&W, Levels (I believe), and one other.
I'll confirm tonight. Also, I'm using Cineform AVI files of my 5D Mark II, so that "might" be why it's still showing yellow. |
Matrox compress HD
Anyone hear about this? It seems with new driver that it aids in time line playback as well as rendering. If thats true it may be better for me VS a new video card.
|
Brant, I'm considering getting the 480series since right now it has most CUDA cores (FERMI) and Adobe is planning to officially support 400 series GTX cards later this year. But I've heard that the card runs hot but I'm concerned with the noise level of the card. How loud is it? At idle and at load?
|
Quote:
It certainly runs hot. I didn't really compare it vs my 260 card. Compared to my 260, it sounds about the same imo. No real db testing to be sure. Best to have a bigger case with good air flow. |
GTX470 Inno3D
Hi everyone, first post here.
I got the GTX470 last night, installed it replacing my 512MB 9600GTX. Firstly here is my pc config: Q8200 @ 2.6GHz 8GB DDR2 2x WD 750GB in Raid 0 Originally on the 9600, playing back a 720p50 clip taken with 550D/T2i would ramp up cpu usage to 100% within 15 seconds of playback, no effects here. On the GTX470 software renderer, the same would reach 85-90% but never 100% With Mercury engine turned on the GTX470, I am getting 45-50% cpu usage. I also tried AVCHD 720p25 taken with HMC150, I didn't notice much difference between the 3 settings, though there was perhaps a 5% reduction in cpu usage (from mid 30's to high 20%'s) when using the GTX470. I am yet to add any effects. I will report on that later. Oh and thanks Martin for your tip. |
HP DV7T Quad laptop w/geforce gt 320m 1 gig
First. Wow! this is a brilliant hack. it is interesting to imagine how you figured this out, and really shows some pc problem solving skills to make things work Your Way.
i tried it on the gt 320m laptop card, and as nvidia is treating it like an orphan, not releasing official drivers, the hp driver from 3/10 only supports cuda 2.2. or 2020 as the sniffer reported/stating cuda driver too old. i tried installing cuda 3.0 developer drivers like my mac needed, but installer reported no drivers for this card. there is one modified driver that could support cuda 3, but the only report i heard on it is that it increses cpu temps. i was not able to find a suitable driver, or cuda update that passed the sniffer test. if anyone has a solution, that would be cool. i heard that nvidia may actually release official drivers for the gt 320m in may. the laptop is powerful, and i played 3 layers of ex1 1080 with 2 PIP effects at full resolution with under 50% cpu load yesterday, so am ok. i am not sure how much the gpu could really help, as its not the greatest card. but the price was excellent w/hp coupons for a 17in quad laptop, at 1/3 of the cost of a macbook pro, but only faster w/hdmi, esata, 2 hdd / a better kit IMO. fascinating hack you have created! |
Wow! My GTX 9800 works after the hack! Thanks for the tip. This thread should be in the sticky.

Any chance someone would be willing to write a summary of the information presented in this thread? It's very interesting, but confusing to follow. Or, it could just be me. :)

Adobe with CS5 has the feature to use a computers graphics card for rendering/exporting clips. GPU are much faster than a CPU due to the high memory bandwidth. Officially Adobe only offers this feature for the GeForce GTX 285/ Quadro FX4800/5800 and CX. However if you change the Cuda text file in your CS5 to suit your card you can have all the effects of the mercury playback engine. Only real requirement is its a Nvidia card with more than 765MB VRAM. |
Thanks David. When you say change, do you mean with a simple text editor, like Notepad? Is it just a matter of enter the graphics card name.
|
Yep here is the contents of my Cuda text file:
GeForce GTX 285 GeForce GTX 295 GeForce GTX 470 GeForce GTX 480 Quadro CX Quadro FX 3800 Quadro FX 3700 Quadro FX 4800 Quadro FX 5800 As you can see I have added in a few cards - Although I don't have the cards its not doing any harm. |
Wow, simple as that. Thanks, my GTX260 turns out to not be obsolete afterall.
|
I can confirm that the GTX 285 has the same issue(alt-tab to another app makes PP5 sluggish using the DSLR editing preset.) as my GTX 295 telling me that there's nothing really specifically done for the GTX 285.
As long as you have enough video memory your 200 cards should all be as good as a 285. |
Finally got my GTX 470 and today my CS5. Trying to make it work I try to change cuda_supported_cards.txt but when I try to save it I do not have the permission. I am logged in as an administrator and I have tried to unclick the write protection in the premiere folder and on the file - but no luck - HELP
|
Bo, try this > drag the file onto your desktop and right-click / edit with notepad. When you are done editing, just drag the file back in your premiere folder.

If anyone is having problems I've added a few cards into my text file and attached it. Just save it to the directory below and overwrite your file in there.
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\ |
Great - Thanks - it works - IT is Fantastic how premiere handel video now - Cant wait to start editing projects in CS5....

Dont have much time testing today but 1 hour and 6 minutes DVCPro HD exported to quicktime DV took 12 minuttes with hardware activated and 21 minuttes with "only software" Tried editing with more layers with colourcorrection and other accelerated effects and no accelerated effects - and no lost frames (hardware)
