How do I change my startup options from OpenCL to CUDA?

PostMon Dec 17, 2018 5:38 pm

I've changed my nvidia settings so that resolve runs with my Geforce 740M card - which has 3.0 CUDA which should work. Worked fine on resolve 14.

At the moment I can get to the project manager page, then it crashes.

If you are on Windows, Ctrl-comma will bring up the Preferences window.

On Mac, CMD-comma.

Thanks, I did that. Unfortunately now it wont detect the CUDA. My card is fine for it too.

Still assuming you are on Windows:

In a File Explorer window, go to:

C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve

and run CaptureLogs

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.

Resolve does not support Windows 8.

You have a very old NVIDIA driver installed. Update that and see if that helps.
