DaVinci Resolve 14 can't start

PostTue Feb 27, 2018 4:35 pm

Hi everybody,

I try Resolve 14 on my laptop, I try 14.0 14.1 and 14.3 and I have the same behaviour.

When I launch Resolve, I access on project selector but after when I create a new project, the resolve shutdown without message.

It works with Resolve 12.

Thanks for your help.

Resolve 14 requires an NVIDIA GPU that supports CUDA compute capability 3.0 or higher.

The FX1800M supports CUDA 1.2.

So Resolve 14 is not going to work on that system.

One thing you can try, go into Resolve Preferences - System - Hardware Configuration, and manually set the GPU Processing mode to OpenCL. Save the preferences and restart Resolve. That might work better, but won't work well, and the video will probably go away if you apply a LUT.

In /Library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve, open the config.dat file in TextEdit and add this at the bottom of the file:

Local.GPU.Mode = OpenCL

Save the file and exit TextEdit.

Launch Resolve. It should launch in OpenCL mode. Immediately go to Resolve Preferences - Hardware Configuration and set the GPU Processing Mode to OpenCL and save the preferences and restart Resolve.
