Understand the GPU and GPU driver requirements for Premiere Pro.
After upgrading to Premiere Pro, there may be driver issues, and you must upgrade your driver.
Adobe recommends installing the latest Studio driver for the supported NVIDIA GPUs:
- Studio driver for GeForce GTX/RTX desktop GPUs
- Studio driver for GeForce GTX/RTX notebook GPUs
- Studio driver for RTX/Quadro desktop and notebook GPUs
NVIDIA has stopped releasing Studio Drivers for 900 series and below. For these GPUs, you may use the latest Game Ready Drivers.
Also, NVIDIA has ended support for Kepler mobile GPUs. If you're using one of these devices, the system compatibility report In Premiere Pro alerts you that your driver must be updated. However, there are no driver updates for this series.
Some of the driver issues that you could face are:
- Green, pink, or purple streaks in Adobe Premiere Rush and Premiere Pro after importing a file or in the exported file. For more information on fixing this error, see the Green and pink video in Premiere Pro or Adobe Premiere Rush.
- The renderer option is grayed out when you navigate to File> Project Settings > General.
- Intermittent crash while editing.
- No previews, garbled previews, frame drops, or performance issues, including slow playback or frame glitches. This article explains what’s needed for using CUDA, Intel, and Apple Metal GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro.
NVIDIA CUDA graphics acceleration requires CUDA 10.1 or newer drivers. CUDA isn’t a requirement for running Adobe video apps. Still, if you prefer CUDA graphics acceleration, you must have CUDA 10.1 or more recent drivers from NVIDIA installed on your system before upgrading to the latest Premiere Pro versions. CUDA drivers are included with the latest NVIDIA Studio Drivers
Updating NVIDIA Drivers on Windows
You can run Premiere Pro with the latest GeForce series GPUs or RTX/Quadro series GPUs.
These drivers are updated regularly, so check the NVIDIA website to be sure you've the most current version for your GPU.
You can find the latest GPU drivers here.
macOS10.14 (Mojave) & later versions currently do not support CUDA.
Adobe supports those versions of Windows and macOS that are still actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. For macOS, that typically means the three most recent versions.
You may check if a system update is available for macOS to check for any new graphics driver updates:
- Select the Apple logo > About This Mac
- On the Overview tab, select Software Update.
- If a software update with the latest graphics driver is available, you may install it.
Premiere Pro requires a recent version of the Intel graphics driver. To avoid stability and performance issues, your Intel driver version must be 27.20.100.8476 or above. We recommend updating your Intel drivers to the above drivers.
100.8476 refers to the last two places of the complete version of the Intel driver (that is 27.20.100.8476)
Adobe recommends that you try to obtain a compatible driver from your computer manufacturer. Intel makes a generic version available on its website if a compatible version is unavailable.
If your driver is older than 100.6286 and your computer manufacturer does not provide a compatible version, it's recommended that you don't install a version later than 100.6286 from the Intel site. Driver version 100.6444 is a Windows DCH driver that does not install cleanly on top of older, legacy drivers.
Adobe highly recommends making a backup of your system first. If you've difficulty installing the driver, see here.
How Premiere Pro works with dual GPU systems
If you are using a system with dual GPUs, then:
- Premiere Pro with Open CL: Premiere Pro first checks for the Intel/AMD driver.
- Premiere Pro with CUDA: Premiere Pro first checks for the NVIDIA driver.
