Hi
I am using the Sapphire R9 270x 4GB OC and I cannot get Premiere or Da Vinci Resolve to recognise it. I took out a Nvidia geforce 610 that I was using before and cost me twenty quid and premier and Resolve were ok with that card. Maybe I just wasted me a whole load of money :)
Anyone using this card for video editing out there with any tips/tricks. I have updated drivers etc etc.
Cheers

I'm having a similar problem - have ASUS Radeon R9 280X-DC2 TOP which apparently supports CUDA, but Da Vinci Resolve says that CUDA support is required. When I run GPU Tweak that comes with the card and go to GPU Info, at the end CUDA is unchecked. I can't find a way of activating it!

Hi Trughead,

I downloaded Da Vinci Resolve 11 from the Black Magic website, and Resolve 11 is working with my Radeon R9 280x graphics card. I'm not sure whether it's using CUDA or not, and as yet haven't tried processing any projects in it, but it does run.

Hope that helps!

Rob

Hi
I actually swapped my card and got the gigabyte Nvidia gtx 780 3gig card. There was a very good deal on it on Amazon. I ran some test on the R9 and kept the project files and ran the same tests with the Nvidia card. I read reports of double the speed etc etc with the Nvidia. My tests were using a one minute clip with a whole bunch of 'stuff' thrown at it. a couple of Magic bullet looks some vector blur and re size with key frames and rotation .... not scientific by any means but the results between the two cards has the R9 beating the Nvidia card by 20 or so seconds when rendering to a variety of codecs. Around 13 minutes for each. With a cheapo twenty quid nividia card for comparison it took 56 minutes btw.
I wanted the Nvidia card for the CUDA and because I was told it would be twice as fast. The R9 was only recognised as other than software only render by Premiere CC 2014 and not previous versions.
Thanks for that info about Da Vinci Sultan I think likely newer versions of software are more friendly to the AMD cards. I think for the price and with that in mind those AMD cards are really good.
If that helps anyone out there.
