I have a Windows 7 Pro computer. I know the newer Resolve products will not work on Windows 7 so I tried Resolve 12.5, it failed. I am trying Resolve 11. It issues the "No OpenCL Hardware Detected" when starting the program. I checked and my Intel HD4600 graphics has been certified for OpenCL 1.2.

My setup is:
Intel i7-4770K processor with HD4600 graphics
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
16 GB memory

Any way to get Resolve 11 Lite to work?

Thanks,
Steve

Resolve 11 won't work with Intel HD graphics.

Thanks for letting me know. As an alternative, I have an older video card. Would an Asus HD4550 pcie-x16 card work? It is Radeon based.

Thanks,

That would also not be supported. Probably the minimum AMD series for older Resolve sw would be a 5770. And if you use AMD cards of that vintage in Windows, you'd need to have the proper AMD Catalyst driver package also installed for proper OpenCL support.

Thank you for the information!

Which GeForce and Radeon chipsets are recommended to run Resolve 11? Would a GeForce GT710 or GT1030 based card be enough? Would a Radeon R7 240 or R7 250 be enough?

Thanks,

I forgot to mention what my primary work is. I will be processing VHS tape and 8mm/16mm film captures. The digitized version of the VHS tapes will have a resolution of 720x480. The film captures will be similar or at a higher resolution but still in NTSC standard definition. My captures will be compressed with Huffyuc lossless compression in AVI that I can convert to essentially any desired editing format.

Thank you,
Steve
