Premiere Pro CS5 Mercury Playback Engine on M11x

Has anyone gotten GPU acceleration to work in Premiere Pro CS5?

Following these instructions:
Hacking Adobe Premiere CS5 to enable more nVidia CUDA cards | KRAMA i.news - blog.krama.tv

It looks like CUDA will work when I run GPUSNIFFER.exe, but when I go into Premiere, the dropdown for the renderer is still grayed out.

 

Bump for great justice.

I've actually managed to get the option to be selectable.....but doing a quick render in "mercury software only" mode and doing the same render in "mercury GPU acceleration" mode yields the same rendering speed.


I wonder if these people bother to actually verify that their methods work? I get teh same results on my desktop.....although I can select the option it doesn't use my GPUs when rendering (I have EVGA Precision running to tell me the load % on my GPUs & they stay @ 0% while rendering.)

*EDIT* I'm not sure if playback has improved. I'll have to do some more testing.

 

Still haven't had any luck myself. How did you get the option to be selectable?

 

Hi!

I've been trying to work on a solution to enable the grayed out drop down menu in Project>General of Adobe Premiere CS5. I was a bit hesistant because I didn't think the GeForce GT 335M could handle such a task. But after further review. I was able to confirm that the GT 335 has actually 72 CUDA cores. I'm currently using CUDA driver version 3020 based on the Nvidia 260.89 driver release. I haven't had much luck..

@AKMofo: It might be because the video your rendering is somewhat below HD (That's what I would assume) that's why the GPU might not be kicking off. I've tried to render using my desktop with a GTX 480 and the rendering performance between the built in graphics is just the same with the GTX 480 because I was rendering standard video (No optimus of course, just the manual switcheroo hehe).
