GPU Error 209 with Resolve 16.2.7

PostThu Sep 17, 2020 9:01 pm

Hello All,

I just upgraded to 16.2.7 and now have an error when opening a project

I receive the following message

The GPU failed to perform image processing because of an error
Error coder 209


The project opens, I can see the timeline, but not image or video.

Attached are the NFO, Dxdiag and logs

HP Z620 / 2x E5-2690 / 64GB RAM - Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan with the latest drivers ( 9/14/2020 )

Thanks :)

OK -

Saw the post from Charles Bennett stating that

With the latest version of Resolve requiring nVidia GPUs to have a minimum Compute Capability of 5 (instead of 3) for CUDA 11, you can check your GPU here.

Install the current NVIDIA 456.38 driver for your Titan GPU.

Hello!

The same here: tested a couple of driver versions (with full DDU procedure) - no luck. 16.2.6 works fine. Tested @ working from home environment so forgive the grandpa GTX 780.

I'm having problems too!

Suddenly, it's no longer recognising CUDA on my GTX670 - has been working fine all along up until now!

Already downloaded latest driver, but will only run in OpenCL mode.

What gives?

The 670 is too old.

Look to pick up a new 3000 series card.

Thank you Dwaine,

I did that and still experience the issue.



At this time, as a workaround, I changed the preference for 'Memory and CPU' to use OpenCL instead of AUTO.

Minimum CUDA Compute Capability for CUDA 11 is 3.5 (not 5.0 as has been stated elsewhere). Your Titan has 3.5, so it would be expected to work.

I'll try to dig up a Titan card tomorrow and see what results I get.

Thank you Dwaine, I really appreciate the clarification and your your efforts

I will not downgrade at this time, just run in OpenCL so Let me know if you need anything else from me.

Thanks again

We are aware of the issue with CUDA Compute Capability 3.5 cards, like Titan and K6000.

It's being looked into. Hopefully a fix will be available soon.

The 16.2.7 version you currently have is build 008, as seen in About DaVinci Resolve.

If you download 16.2.7 now, you'll get build 010, which should address the CUDA 209 error issue.

People that have the check for updates turned on should also get an update notification for this new build.

On Windows, you can install the new build 010 version over top of the 008 version. There is no need to uninstall Resolve first, to install this update.

WOW !! This is amazingly fast !

Downloaded - installed and tested ! It works for me :)

Thank you !

( BTW - since I will not need to upgrade my video card now - I will put my $$ in a dongle )

The link cited above does not include all cards. My notebook has a GTX 1660 ti. It is not on the list but from other sources it appears that it may have a compute capability of 7.x.

My desktop GTX 1050 ti is also not on the list but the base 1050 is listed at 6.1.

The release notes should always be included in the zip file that can be downloaded for each version, and not just the installation EXE.

It is a real PITA to have to Google multiple places to get the needed information. Those who have older cards need to know IN ADVANCE what is the last Resolve version they should hang with before downloading 1.63 GB files, trying to install, only to find out later that the hardware that was OK with their previous version is no longer.

The CUDA Wiki generally has those few cards that aren't on the NVIDIA developer site list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

And yes, the 1660 is 7.5 capable.

And the 1050Ti is 6.1 capable.

Dwaine, that is my point. The list in the link posted for people to check is not complete. I had already pretty much figured out that my hardware was OK. But it is the recurring threads like this, started by people having problems, that illustrate the lack of clear and concise information. What percentage of users (especially newbies) even know the CUDA wiki exists or would think to consult it prior to installing the software or an update?

Ah thanks for this fix I was having issues with this yesterday with my 1660ti. Will have to finish my current project on 16.2.6 and then upgrade again.

The GTX 680 has a compute capability of 3.0, and will not support CUDA 11.
So you have 3 options:

1. upgrade your video card
2. downgrade to 16.2.6
3. run in OpenCL mode

But OpenCL will be much slower.
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

Hello, I have a similar problem with an RTX 2060 in my Asus Zenbook Pro Duo. The latest Nvidia driver (456.38) seems to break my installation so I had to roll back to 442.23.

Meanwhile, Resolve Studio 16.2.7 doesn't seem to thing my RTX 2060 supports CUDA anymore. I did download the latest build.

No dice. See below.

Rolling back to Resolve Studio 16.2.6 works fine:

1. upgrade your video card

3. run in OpenCL mode


Many thanks for this,

At least the OpenCL mode allow to check my projects,
for sure better performance would need GPU upgrade (and motherboard, ram, CPU to goes with it, as 680GTX is previous gen). That would be a bit pricey for now...

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.

The GTX760 does not support CUDA 11.

It has Compute Capability 3.0. The GPU needs to support 3.5 or higher for CUDA 11.

I had the same problem using my Nvidia GTX 1080. I upgraded to the latest Nvidia driver (456.71) but still no luck. I tried OpenCL mode and it works but runs glacially. Do I have no alternative but to downgrade Studio to below 16.2.7?0

If so that is tremendously disappointing. If an update doesn't fix this soon I will have to stop recommending Resolv and start looking for a replacement. I can't imagine being frozen on one specific version forever due to this problem. Surely you have a solution coming? I am NOT going to upgrade my GPU for this software and imagine hardly anyone else will either.

Thanks very much,

If so that is tremendously disappointing. If an update doesn't fix this soon I will have to stop recommending Resolv and start looking for a replacement. I can't imagine being frozen on one specific version forever due to this problem. Surely you have a solution coming? I am NOT going to upgrade my GPU for this software and imagine hardly anyone else will either.

Thanks very much,
Nathan Hoover


GTX 1080 is a CUDA 6.x capable so ok in this regard. (3.5 needed) so its likely a driver selection issue.

In the Resolve Help menu, select "Create Diagnostics Log on Desktop"

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.

Thanks - I actually downgraded to 16.2.6 in order to complete my project - it worked fine as before. If I have a chance to try again, I'll definitely follow your steps and post the results.

I am hitting this problem too, can you advise?
I have a Quadro K4200 GPU and the latest driver form Nvidia: 452.39
Is a fix going to be forthcoming or do I need to downgrade to 16.2.6?
I cannot afford to dump a very good and expensive Quadro card so I hope there will be a fix...?

The K4200 has CUDA Compute Capability 3.0. Minimum requirement for CUDA 11 support is 3.5

So your card is not going to work with Resolve 16.2.7 or higher. Unless you run it in OpenCL mode, which will work poorly.

Ouch, that wasn't what I wanted to hear. I guess that means I am stuck with 16.2.6 from now on. :(

I have searched the Nvidia site and I cannot find any reference to CUDA Compute Capability or even values such as "CUDA 11". There is plenty about CUDA cores or memory bandwidth but where on earth can I find out which Nvidia GPUs have a specific CUDA level which are now compatible with 16.2.7 or even Resolve 17 which is imminent? There really needs to be a Table of GPU level/performance somewhere. Where can I get this information? Thanks.

Your GPU has to have Compute Capability 3.5 or higher, to support CUDA 11.

I do appreciate Dwaine's clear statements and the link above.

I had a dual GPU system with one card at 3.0 (Quadro 4200) and one at 3.5 (Quadro K5200). After getting this issue I removed the K4200.

Separately I had an issue of no video on program output in 16.2.7. I had to downgrade to 16.2.6 because of this and the GPU error. However after removing the K4200 I have upgraded to 16.2.7 again and find there is no issue.

I am now running only the Quadro K5200 with driver version 452.57 and so far, so good.

However I am aware that with CUDA compute 3.5 being the minimum, the writing is on the wall and I will need to look at moving up in hardware. ;)
System 1: Dell Precision 7810, Dual Xeon 2620, 72GB RAM, GeForce 1080ti 11GB, Win10 pro, Resolve Studio 17.4.
System 2: Custom build Intel i7-12700K, 64GB RAM, GeForce 1080ti 11GB, Ubuntu 22.04, Resolve Studio 17.4.

I can't quite believe I have to plough through a massive Wikipedia post to get this information I need.
It's also hugely disappointing that a K4200 can't be supported any more.
I'll have to stick with 16.2.6.

Ctrl-f to bring up a find window to easily find your GPU on the CUDA Wiki.

If that's not to your liking, use the NVIDIA site for this info. Be aware it takes more effort than the Wiki, and doesn't always have the odd GPU listed:

hi Dwaine,

many thanks for your help as usual.

I have a licensed Studio v. 16.2.7.010 on a setup with a Quadro K2000 with computing level 3.0 that should supports up to CUDA 9.2. I could downgrade Resolve to a previous release, but can't find a way to download an old Studio.

Is there anyway for me to enable CUDA processing without buying new hardware?

Thanks.

Just scroll down on the support page and you'll find older versions reaching far back.
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

As Uli pointed out, go here:

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppor ... and-fusion

All Resolve versions back to 10.1.5 are available.

There is no way to make CUDA work with your GPU in Resolve version 16.2.7 or higher.

Either update the GPU, or use Resolve 16.2.6 or earlier.

Im getting the same error (But with code 219) in resolve 17.
Pretty simple fusion comp (Just masks and transform nodes with keyframes).

Thanks a lot Dwaine! Superhelpful as usual.

It works a charm now using CUDA v.9.2 and Resolve 16.2.6.
I will stick to v.16.2.6 for the time being. Then at some point I will upgrade the hardware and switch over to v. 17.

Thanks.

It looks like you are doing something in the project that requires more than the 4GB of GPU VRAM that you have.

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?
