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

[@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 🙏🏻

[@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 TH-cam algorithm bless you with 100,000+ subs. ✨

[@talldave7799]

Thanks for sharing this video!! This is the 4th video I had found about the GPU not being initialized! Your video is the ONLY one who suggested using the HDMI port of the graphic card!! I had 2 monitors for this Desktop Dell PC and I was not using the Graphic Cards port and Davinci Resolve was failing to start!! Thanks again.

[@mahii_aymal]

thank you so much. The 5th tip immediately solved my problem. I lose hope of fixing it but your video is best. thanks again

[@ToximaeTTV]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm new to the world of PCs (recently upgraded from a laptop) and had NO idea that it mattered where the monitor was plugged into and NOBODY else had mentioned that in any fix forum or video

[@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

[@sawana_]

Thank you so much, i was co confused when one day it stopped working, i didn't know that my battery is low and the power save mode was the problem.. So little yet very important knowlage :))

[@rainakreeger]

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

[@SpicyViolinist]

Way better video than the other guy! 2nd solution was the fix for me, thanks so much for making this

[@iamdevil8691]

Iam searching for full this problem I watch lot of videos but all are time waste but your first method worked thankyou so much bro.

[@cedar6090]

Omg THANK YOU!! My monitor was pluged into the wrong HDMI. You're a life saver!

[@baja-cabobeats2460]

Thank you my friend. I am running Windows 10.5 on Asus F512, iCore 7 and GPU NVidia 960M. SOLUTION 2 (Battery Settings: Never) worked it out.

[@MsDianagentaToYou]

Ty so much! You fixed my problem a week or two ago. Then I moved my PC and had the same problem, but for a different reason, and you fixed that too! Subscribed!

[@Zyragonn]

Switching cable worked. Thank you. I never realised I have 2 sets for that. Thank you for that!

[@rampanja]

Very helpful! Thank you so much! The first tip immediately solved my issue. Keep it up!

[@Shahwezz]

@rampanja can you please tell your configuration?

[@CaptainBrash]

Thanks, your tip about the HDMI half fixed the problem. I'm on a laptop with a single HDMI and if I run Davinci resolve with the second monitor plugged in it doesn't work but if I unplug it then run Davinci and then plug the monitor back in it works. there has to be a better solution but this laptop has been very frustrating with anything involving second monitors despite having good specs. xD

[@AnkitaHankare]

Thanks bro, I uninstalled 18 and re-installed 17.2. It is working🎉

[@videowithjens]

Very nice! Glad it solved your issue

[@reginaldhart7962]

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.

[@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.

[@dinethefox_art]

my savior, cheers

[@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.

[@Se_he]

thank you so much

[@Jimmy-ng6gy]

It worked mem thank you soo much

[@ajawolemojamame]

[@ranaanurag2367]

i just download the 17.1.1 version ,after installation it ask me for activation key , i don't have any activation key can you provide me solution ?

[@ukasz2436]

thanks

[@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

[@fouad_184]

the first one worked for me

[@arbenahmeti8643]

So wich one do I download? I am at the website for Intel from via your link, wich one do I need and download? Because my screen gets green and blurry when I go into the project in Da vinci.

[@williamthompson9393]

If Davinci Resolve is so good why are there so many videos available trying to get this product to work

[@videowithjens]

Hahah yeah, but it's the case for all the NLE software
