GTX 780 crashes Premiere Pro CC

[MacAndor]

After reading this discussion, I'm a bit confused about whether or not the GTX Titan will work with Premiere Pro CC in Mavericks.

I'm running 10.8.5 now and Premiere crashes on start. Just wondering if upgrading to Mavericks will solve the issue.

Thanks!

90% chance that it won't fix it. Could you give us a crash report?

MSI GTX 780 Twin Frozr = same issues as in this thread.

Running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Won't be upgrading for a while at least until someone says it's full fixed.

Good news about the GTX Titan. I just upgraded to Mavericks and can confirm that Premiere Pro CC is working again. No crashes. CUDA Mercury Playback works as well. I can finally get back to work using the Titan instead of my trusty 680.

Looks like it's just the GK110B chip affecting some 780's and all the 780 Ti's.

This would make a lot of sense and would also mean a "fix" probably won't be far off. Thank you so much for confirming mavericks fixes TITAN support since that is the solution i will now adapt.

I had a $1000 video card collecting dust. Figured it was worth spending 2 hours upgrading to Mavericks since I wasn't getting clear answers on the web. Glad it worked out.

The other solution, which I was tempted to keep if the upgrade didn't work, was using a 680 and Titan together in a 2 monitor setup (1 for each card) on ML. If I set the monitor driven by the 680 to have the OS X menus, and start premiere, the app would run. But when the Titan driven display is the main display, PP would crash. Kinda of silly but it worked.

Hi,

Thanks for removing the cards, but the Gigabyte GTX780 GDDR5-3GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC Graphics Card GV-N780OC-3GD REV2.0 is a no go too. I have it and have OpenCL issues. (OpenGL and Cuda works fine)

It has the GK110B chip...

Just noticed this. I see the buyer's guide no longer lists the PNY (GF780GTX3GEPB) and the Gigabyte card is now the GV-N780OC-3GD REV2.0 as opposed to the GV-N780OC-3GD, but as you point out it's using the GK110B. The guide also links to the EVGA 03G-P4-2781-KR, which also appears to be using the GK110B.

Is anyone with a GTX 780 not experiencing OpenCL issues? I'm not sure what to buy. I figure if I'm buying a new graphics card (my current one is an awful (and incompatible) Radeon 7570) I might as well go for the newest out there. Maybe I should just buy a 780 anyway and hope there's a fix in a later Maverick update?

I have no issues myself but I know that some of the problems are also premiere related (v7.1). There's all kinds of bugs on different configurations popping up in adobe's forum. OpenCL works fine but OpenGL sucks somehow on mine. I'd say wait for both Premiere and Nvidia drivers update, but that could take time, so for a work environment stick to 10.8.5 with webdrivers. (I'll update my signature with my particular model later).

EDIT:
I did new tests, with Unigine I get 10% performance drop with OpenGL, with Luxmark (OpenCL) I get almost the same results. 1346 in Win vs. 1354 in 10.9. Where I see the most difference on OpenGL performance is in Cinebench. 80fps on Win vs 35 on 10.9.

About the Premiere bugs they're present in both 10.8.5 and 10.9. I don't know about Windows.

This is issue I brought up a bit back (http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/115283-opencl-thread-crashing.html#post709219) that turned out 100% related to GK110B. It affects even mac pros as confirmed by rominator.

It also appears reflashing the card using a rom from a non B rev card does NOT work either.

It affects 10.8.5 and 10.9. It's just a new revision of 780 and titan cards that's in the newly manf. cards. It'll spread until someone (apple or nvidia) address issue. I highly doubt ANY of the new Ti cards will work.


The weird thing is i was able to work around the crash 100% of time for a single day, by first modding the kext and purposely putting the >2 gig bug back into driver, and then, after doing so, rebooting and setting PCI express bus speed to forced gen 2. It'd then work for a single boot session. Once rebooting, it's break again, until i set card to gen 3. every reboot I'd have to alternate between gen 2 and 3. For some reason this stopped working after about a day and I couldn't make it work again. with or without modded driver. To this day I don't know why my workaround was working.

Thanks for that. I think I'm going to buy a 780 anyway. Considering the OpenCL crash is affecting 780s, 780Tis and their flagship Titans, I expect Nvidia will patch this in a web driver fix. By the time (2-3 weeks) I've got round to buying and fitting a 780 (and upgrading my PSU), a web driver may well be out. The downside to having the newest tech is dealing with the newest glitches.

Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and it does fix the problem. Premiere CC happily works with the 780 now. I'm noticing quite a jump from the 650 to the 780 when working with RED footage or large picture animations.

One side note, once I booted up Mavericks it said that the nVidia web drivers were incompatible so I removed them. Seems the stock drivers are good enough.
