Topic: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

Can anyone else confirm? Just upgraded to the new driver and if SVP has GPU acceleration enabled, an SVSmoothFps: unable to init GPU-based renderer error appears in the video frame. It works when I reinstall previous driver (376.48).

This is on SVP4 on windows 10.

Re: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

No problems here using SVP with GPU acceleration enabled and the new Nvidia driver on Win 10 (build 14986).

Maybe the following thread has your answer:

Re: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

Thanks for the answer. Following the link, there are two options in that menu - no acceleration and my gpu, selecting my gpu consistently makes the error show up when using the new driver and works when using the old driver. if it works for you on the new driver perhaps I'll have to find some other settings to play around with...

Re: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

I'm also having problems since the recent driver update. No problems with previous driver.

Did a clean driver install using DDU in safemode- still the same error.
Reinstalled SVP 4 pro, still no luck.

378.49?

Yeah, it supposedly borked video streaming for most people... Nvidia's recent drivers have been very spotty for some reason. Just stay on the old driver until a new one comes out.

Recent? It's been for 2 years since Nvidia drivers went downstream and now I'd rather let AMD team to write a driver for my GPU than Nvidia. Not because AMD drivers are better but because while they are about the same AMD at least is on the road UP.

I have to spend my time checking and deciding if I want to stay on 337.88/347.09, or go with 372.90 or take a risk and take something from 375/377.

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous how picking a stable Nvidia driver is like a game now. And I haven't had an AMD driver issue in months, now that you mention it...

EDIT: Actually that's a lie. ReLive didn't work with the Origin overlay in the first release, but that's a minor issue.

So folding@home finally works after like 3 months, but GPU video acceleration is now broken instead big_smile I am very curious how is it possible that biff doesn't have this issue.

Re: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

Come to think of it, I had a couple of rainbow flashes on starting something up with SVP, but it passed in a millisecond and then played normally. 99.9% of the time, I've had no problem. Maybe it's the version of Win 10 I'm using: Build 15019

For what it's worth, I'm running an i5 3570k with a GTX970

Re: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

My statistics for GPU acceleration work in SVP 4:
376.09 works good
376.33 works good
378.49 works good
I have win 10 x64 version 1607 build 14393.693, NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti.

P.S. There is no 376.48 drivers for my video adapter at NVIDIA site. hmm

Re: GPU acceleration broken in new nvidia driver 378.49?

378.49 - works for me in all cases - 32/64-bit player, hw decoding on/off, madVR on/off.
Win 10 14393, Quadro M2000 (~ GTX 750)

And the error code is ... ?

It was indeed this folding@home hotfix driver that Alex linked (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers … ion-376.48), released just before christmas.

Error: CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the device.

Still I can't reproduce this on my system.
