I need your help with my graphics drivers!

[Ofir aviel]

hi,

I am using adobe premiere cc, and until recently, i used the 2017 update, and it worked fine for me.

now i upgraded to the 2019 update, and it said that i have old drivers (i have the driver version 23.21.13.8813 from 10/27/2017) so i went ahead and downloaded the driver version  417.01 from 11/26/2018 from Nvidia's website, and then it disappeared from the task manager, and i still could not use its hardware acceleration, even in the 2017 update, so i searched for a while, and i found out that there is a tool called GPUSniffer, so i ran it, and it showed this:

Did not find any devices that support GPU computation.

so i rolled back to the old drivers and i ran it again, and it showed that:

well, can you help me with that?

 

thank you!

Gosh a GT630 is so old.... no wonder you're having issues.

 

You should use DDU in safe mode to wipe all the drivers and start fresh new, if you just updated to the new driver on top of the old one, being this an old card, you probably have left overs from the previous driver tempering with something.

 

Once all is fully removed you reinstall the newest driver, but if a GT 630 is your only GPU in the system and you're trying to do professional work with Adobe you seriously should consider an upgrade.

well, even after i completely removed all of the old drivers, it still doesn't work.

 

and about upgrading to a new graphics card, that's not an option at this point of time for me
