BRAW clips crash Davinci with "Use GPU for Braw decode"

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone has a fix (besides turning off "Use GPU for Braw decode") for
the instant crash when loading Braw clips into Resolve.

Once I turn this off they work when loaded. In the previous version of Resolve when I loaded the test
clips from the BM website they would load but had a greenish/pixely graphic distortion if the GPU accel
option was on for it, but now it just crashes.

The clips I am using are from a Pocket 4k and the GPU is a Vega64 running in windows on driver version
19.2.3.

Thanks
Shaun

Hi.

DaVinci Resolve 15.3 adds support for Blackmagic RAW version 1.3.

From: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=87151

I don't know if it will help to update to Resolve version 15.3?

But if it don't, and you still want help, am I sure others will need conformation on your Windows 10 version and exact Resolve versions an information on if you are on the free or Studio versions of Resolve.

Regards Carsten.

Hello,

Here no issue : play Braw and my GPU jump to 25%

Hey guys, thanks for the reply.

I do have the latest version of resolve, the one before (15.2) loaded them per my description as a greenish/pixely graphic distortion, but the 15.3 crashes it right away if a braw clip is in the timeline or if I add one.

And the windows version is.
Windows 10 Version 1803 Build 17134.556

Thanks!

I saw a lot of people posting about problems with the latest AMD drivers. I would try older ones.

Ironically I just loaded the newest ones 19.3.1 and it now loads, but with a graphic glitch like before.
I included a google drive link so you guys could see.

Playback is smooth though lmao. Another note is a updated everything in windows from the 1803 to version 1809 now and build 17763.348. I did the AMD drivers update because the windows update alone did nothing to change my situation.

I have same problem.
But to use driver 18.11.1 (2018).
No graphic glitch.
I use vega56.

I'm happy to report that using the 18.11.1 drivers did seem to solve the problem.
Has anyone tried any later versions they know do work also?

Thanks

I wanted to update the situation. I was still having "some issues" with the drivers at 18.11.1...But much less frequent. So I decided to try something else..I downloaded the Latest 19.3.3 and underclocked....I still had issues, making resolve unusable..However I have found an odd fix..

This will only for Ryzen CPU's....I downloaded AMD Ryzen Master and I think the key was disabling "Simultaneous Multi-threading"

My render times have decreased, the "glitch screen" almost never happens, coincidence? I would have thought so if turning the switch back on didn't freeze up my resolve. So no.

I hope this helps, even if it raises more questions.

Just wanted to add that I am having the same issues, even on newest version of resolve (paid). Using an Vega 64. Only workaround I have found that keeps the green glitching away is disabling GPU decoding. Let me know if anyone has solutions or if AMD GPU's are just not compatible across the board.
