5 Ways to Fix “Unable to Initialize GPU” in DaVinci Resolve

[@jinxedmoth]

This helped so much! I've been down a rabbit hole for two hours trying to figure out how to get the clips to display... tried a zillion different things which resulted in the "unable to initialize GPU" error... but turns out it was as simple as Step #2 and replugging the HDMI into a different slot on my PC 🙃 Wish I had found your video sooner~ May the KZbin algorithm bless you with 100,000+ subs. ✨

[@gwoss]

I thank you sooo much. The tipp to connect my display directly to the CPU solved my DVR problem which I was almost ready to give up on. Such a valuable tip so few out there share. You are the best!

[@videowithjens]

Very nice, I'm glad to hear!

[@mohammedsherif9575]

I’ve Been searched for solutions for this problem but I couldn’t find it and I lost hope to fixing it but you came from nowhere big thanks bro go ahead 🔥🔥🤤🤤 God bless you 🙏🏻

[@richardsvrachs]

[@nishitarai7827]

Then what are the other ways

[@Go_u_rav]

Same problem what to do ??

[@Go_u_rav]

​@@nishitarai7827hlo do you know any other way

[@bananaisland_film]

Excellent! The first solution solved my problem. I just used CCleaner which probably disconnected the GPU settings. Thanks for your valuable and efficient video. Perfect

[@videowithjens]

Great! I'm glad to hear it was helpful

[@rainakreeger]

I looked through many tutorials but only the last option helped! Thanks! I was about to give up lol

[@ednaliehammar4418]

Thank you bro. Such a great help!

[@jeffh.8127]

I tried everything in the video (up to going to a previous Davinci Resolve release level). I have a Nvidia Geforce 950 MX card, but for some reason DR wouldn't work with it. My system has an Intel graphics processor that I had unenabled in Device Manager. I found that by re-enabling that card I was able to run DR without any errors.

[@emmaotali6148]

It really worked! Thank you 😊

[@nomuraamraa8588]

Thanks! First solution worked. Interestingly, both my power saving mode and high power mode were using, or at least showing that it was using, the same integrated graphics card. Nevertheless, it worked.

[@videowithjens]

Ahh, I'm glad it solved your issue!

[@ektachaurasia4065]

Thank you so much 😊👍

[@antediluviannaga]

Thank you very much. My AMD graphics card was not installed which was making it difficult for my resolve to run. But your video just helped out.

[@agd2457]

[@reginaldhart7962]

No worries

[@ProfitCatalystSynergy]

Hello, the only thing that resolved my issue was your last suggestion to install version 16.2.6. Thanks a lot! But then it gave me a "Unable to load plugin: USD.plugin" error. The app works now, but why is this and how to fix it?

[@videowithjens]

The plugin does probably not work with a older version of Resolve. You could check if the plugin have a older version from 2020

[@ProfitCatalystSynergy]

@@videowithjens I found that deleting the USD plugin folder apparently resolves this issue. Could you make another video upon further research of this, please?

[@videowithjens]

Glad you figured it out👍 will consider it

[@PrajnaK-cp5iw]

Thanks it's resolved😊😊😊

[@AwesomeBlackDude]

Doesn't look like Ubuntu 19 OS.

[@Alegozuu]

[@williamthompson9393]
