GPU Error 209 with Resolve 16.2.7

I get also error 219 with Resolve Studio 2.16.10, frequently when I try to use in fusion 3 images with a resolution of 7680 x 4320. Is there a maximum for the image resolution you can use?

Can you send a project export .drp of the Indon??sie commun 2 project, so we can see what's going on in the project?

Hi Dwaine,
sorry for the delay.
the indonesian .drp is at the same address as above: dropbox.com/sh/1n241a5wn8je3bw/AACUGOrWoeApSexT4iu0jZyZa?dl=0
thanks

The GTX670 does not support CUDA 11, therefore is not a good fit for Resolve 16.2.7 and higher.

None of the GTX600 series cards support the minimum required Compute Capability of 3.5, therefore none of them will work in CUDA mode with 16.2.7 and higher.

They will run in OpenCL mode, but poorly.

Either stay at 16.2.6 or update the GPU.

I have been using a 650Ti for 4 months in Resolve and TODAY it stopped working and started giving me this 209 error. So saying that none of them will work is a lie, and I would like to know what actually causes this error, because I am extremely frustrated. I pretty much lost a project I have 3 days of editing invested in.

Then you either haven't been using 16.2.7, or your GPU processing mode was set to OpenCL.

The 650Ti card has CUDA compute 3.0 capability, which absolutely does not support CUDA 11 use, which 16.2.7 and above requires.

Hi Dwaine
do you have any comment about what is wrong in my project?

[Dwaine Maggart]

No. I've just spent way too much time trying to repro the issue with your project.

The crash log shows a GPU error in a Fusion related clip. I'm guessing that one or more of your Fusion comps is causing the issue.

Your project, when playing the jpg and cr2 clips is using very close to 4GB of VRAM. It won't take much to push it over the edge. Do you have any other apps open that might be using GPU VRAM? Are you running Resolve in dual display mode?

Restart Resolve and open the project. On the Color page, in the upper right area, select the Clips dropdown arrow. Then select "Clips with Fusion Composition". Now it will only show you clips on the timeline with Fusion comps. Play each of those clips, and see if one of the clips causes a GPU error. If so, note which clip. Then restart Resolve and repeat the process, with the next Fusion clip. Don't select clips you've previously selected. When you get a GPU error, you have to restart Resolve to properly free up the GPU VRAM. Repeat this process as many times as it takes to identify any Fusion clips causing GPU errors.

Let us know which, if any, of the Fusion clips cause an issue.

FWIW, I have XPS 15 with 1050Ti
I had installed Resolve 17Beta and it was working great and then suddenly, I started receiving the image processing error. Drove me nuts, i reinstalled it several times to no avail. Then looking through this post, made me realize that it could be a driver compatibility issue. I had updated the driver to the version 461.09 which was causing this issue. I reverted back to 452.41 and I don't have the issue anymore.

On a side note, maybe because it is beta or not the studio version, the Resolve 17 runs better on my wife's macbook and renders atleast 3 to 4 times faster consistently then the xps.
My device's specs: XPS 15- i9-8950HK ; 64GB RAM; NVIDIA 1050Ti
Macs Specs: 2018 Macbook Pro, i7-8850H; 16GB RAM; Radeon Pro 560X 4GB

I assume that's the free version. Under Windows, you need the Studio version to accelerate some codecs.
On the Mac, it's already included with the price of the hardware

Im now on DaVinci Resolve 16.2.8, thought upgrading from 16.2.7 would fix the issue, but I still get 209 error... Last time I used DaVinci resolve under 16.2.7 (about a week ago) everything worked, but now none of my projects can process the video information...

In a File Explorer window, go to:

C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve

and run CaptureLogs

This will place a Resolve log file named similar to this on your Windows desktop: DaVinci-Resolve-logs-20181228_140434.zip (You may not see the .zip extension if your system is set to hide known extensions).

Then open Windows System Information and do a File - Save (Not a File Export), which will generate a .NFO file.

Place both those files on a file sharing site and provide links to the files here.

If you are a new Forum user, you may not be allowed to post URLs. If this happens, just put a space near the front of the URL, so the system doesn't think it's a URL.

This says "Solved", but I can't find the resolution. What am i missing?

[Dwaine Maggart]

What's your exact issue and your system details?

The issue is with the latest nvidia game ready drivers, its causing people everywhere issues, including several posts here and several posts on reddit. You need to instead install the studio drivers and it will fix your issue. Go to geforce experience, go to the driver tab, hit the 3 little dots on the right and select the studio driver. I am hoping blackmagic acknowledge this issue and report it to nvidia so it is fixed, because I know several people, including me, that have had their computers completely crash because of this issue.

For now the studio drivers are a fix or rolling back on the game ready drivers, but in a perfect world it is fixed in the next game ready driver since that is what 99 percent of the people are using.

[Dwaine Maggart]

We've acknowledged this in several threads.

The 461.09 Game Ready driver does not work properly with Resolve.

The solution is to use the previous 460.89 driver. Use the Studio version if there is one for your particular card, or the Game Ready 460.89 if there is not a Studio version for your card.

Card models prior to 10 series cards, i.e. all 900, 800 and 700 series cards do not have Studio drivers. (Notice I didn't mention 600 series. No 600 series cards will work with current Resolve since none support CUDA 11).

Understood, it seems the other threads that I have replied on had no acknowledgement on this issue from your team - so I figured it was possible you weren't aware. Glad you are, is it safe to assume this will be fixed by nvidia in the next update? For some going to the studio drivers is just a temp fix, not a permanent one.

[Dwaine Maggart]

What is the pressing feature in the 461.09 driver that would create an issue in using the 460.89 driver?

Hopefully the next driver works better.

For those of us who game and do creative work, being on the studio drivers mean we don’t get the latest drivers for newer games. So if we spend money on a new game and nvidia come out with a driver that optimizes that game - we are in a tough spot if we also want to use resolve, until this bug is fixed. Might not seem like a big issue and it might not be for the very next update - but I think my point is directed more toward if this drags on it’ll be tough to juggle. Maybe I should word it as I hope it’s fixed “soon” and less focused on the very next driver update.

For a NVidia 760 downgrading to Resolve 16.2.5 worked.

[Dwaine Maggart]

Right. That GPU only supported in Resolve 16.2.6 or lower.
