Today we are going to solve the “Unable to Initialize GPU” error in DaVinci Resolve.

The “Unable to Initialize GPU” error in DaVinci Resolve, put in simple words, means; Resolve is unable to connect to your graphics card. To fix this you need to find a way of restoring the connection or removing the factor causing the disconnection.

Luckily for you, we have found the solutions that seem to fix the problem for most people!

Click the link to go directly to a specific solution:

1. Change DaVinci Resolve’s Graphic Preferences
2. Is the Monitor Connected to the Correct Port?
3. Turn Off Battery Saving on Laptop
4. Update Graphic Cards’ Drivers
5. Install an Older Version of Resolve

I’ve also made a video explaining the solutions below:

1. Change DaVinci Resolve’s Graphic Preferences

1. Right-click on the “Start” button in the taskbar, and search for “Settings.”

1. Open “Settings” from the results. Select “Display” under the “System” sub-menu and then select “Graphics” after scrolling down a bit.

1. Now on this page, you can decide what apps can use your graphics card or not and set how much power they can use on your graphics card.
2. In the app list, check if DaVinci Resolve is already added. If not, select “Browse,” and then go to your OS drive (on most PCs, it is Local Disk (C:)).

1. After opening the Local Disk (C:), double-click on “Program Files” to open it, go to Blackmagic Design > DaVinci Resolve, select “Resolve,” and click on “Add”:

1. Click on “Options,” then select “High Performance,” and click on “Save.”

Next, try launching DaVinci Resolve, and hopefully, the “Unable to Initialize GPU” error doesn’t appear.

If this method didn’t help, no worries; we’ve got a few more that should resolve the issue for you in no time. Continue reading this article for the next solution.

1.1. Quick Way to Make Resolve Use Discrete GPU

This is one of the simplest tricks to make Resolve work if it shows the error “Unable to Initialize GPU.”

(Not everyone has this option, as it seems to have been removed in newer versions of Windows).

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Right-click the DaVinci Resolve’s program icon on your desktop and hover your mouse over the option “Run with graphics processor.”
2. In the sub-menu, select “High-performance NVIDIA processor (Default).” For AMD users, you will find a similar option to select. Make sure you select that and not “Integrated graphics.”

Continue reading for the next solution if this doesn’t help.

2. Is the Monitor Connected to the Correct Port?

Do you have your computer monitor connected to the motherboard or the GPU? Okay, now that you’ve checked which port your monitor is connected to, here’s what you need to do.

Assuming your monitor is plugged into the motherboard using an HDMI cable, unplug your monitor and connect it to the GPU’s HDMI port. If it is connected to the GPU’s HDMI port, disconnect and reconnect it to the motherboard port.

Now, check if the DaVinci Resolve is working properly. If it is still showing “Unable to Initialize GPU,” check our next step. 

3. Turn Off Battery Saving on Laptop

Are you using a laptop? Have you enabled battery savings to keep your computer from running at full power and draining your battery? Or maybe you have a powerful computer that you turned on because you are using it to do basic tasks.

If that’s the case, you should turn off battery saving mode and select the option “Balanced” or “High Performance.”

Here’s how to do that:

1. Open the “Start” menu, and search for the “Control Panel.”

1. Now, open the “Control Panel” from the results, and then open “Hardware and sound.”

1. Click on “Choose a power plan” and then select “Balanced” or “High performance.”

When you change your power settings from high-performance, your PC starts using fewer resources and also limits your PC’s performance.

By changing the power settings, your GPU and other components are likely working using limited resources. So, when you launch DaVinci Resolve with the battery settings in saver mode enabled, the program struggles to read GPU memory, resulting in the error.

4. Update Graphic Cards’ Drivers

Drivers are essential for making that component, in this case, the graphics card, communicate with the motherboard and the OS. Without the drivers, the graphics cards won’t function at all.

The drivers can get corrupted or removed automatically, or you may be using outdated drivers, and DaVinci Resolve cannot identify them.

Here’s how to update your graphics card drivers:

1. Click on the magnifying glass icon in the taskbar and type in “Device manager.” Alternatively, you can right-click the “Start” button and open it by selecting “Device Manager.”

1. Now, expand ”Display Drivers” and update every graphics card driver available inside. Right-click on the drivers and select “Update drivers.”

1. Now, click “Search automatically for updated driver software,” and it should locate the latest drivers to install on your PC.

If you didn’t find any new drivers, awesome!

However, doing it this way will not grant you the latest update published by your GPU manufacturer but rather what’s perceived as the newest stable version by Windows.

So, if you don’t have a software set to automatically update your drivers, such as GeForce Experience, you are probably not running the newest version.

In that case, it’s worth trying to update it to solve the error!

How to Manually Update GPU Drivers

Go to google, and search for your GPUs name, followed by “driver download,” like in the image below:

Then the first result is probably your manufacturer’s official website; however, make sure of it before downloading anything!

(This is how you would do it with an Nvidia driver)

Once you’ve downloaded the driver, it’s by default located in the “Downloads” folder on your computer.

Double-click it and install the driver.

Once the installation process is complete, restart your computer and launch DaVinci Resolve.

If you’re still met with “Unable to Initialize GPU,” we have one more solution for you to try:

5. Install an Older Version of Resolve

In our research, we discovered that users experiencing this issue with DaVinci Resolve 18 and 17 were able to resolve it by downgrading and installing DaVinci Resolve 16.

If you started getting the error after updating Resolve, you could try downgrading it to the previously working version.

Here’s how to do it:

5.1 How to Uninstall DaVinci Resolve

Firstly, we need to uninstall the current version of Resolve. So, make sure to back up your projects if you need them in the future.

Then open “Start” on your computer, search for “Control Panel,” and open it:

Under “Programs,” click on “Uninstall a program”:

Locate DaVinci Resolve, right-click it, and select “Uninstall.”

Click on “Yes” if you are sure you want to do it:

5.2 How to Install Older Version of DaVinci Resolve

Visit Black Magic’s official website and head to the support section (or click the link).

Scroll down in the “Latest Downloads” and find the previous working version or DaVinci Resolve 16, which some people have found to be working. Download one of them.

You’ll now find the file in your “Downloads” folder, by default

Open the setup file by double-clicking on it, and then click the “Next” button in the DaVinci Resolve’s installation window.

Accept the terms and license agreement, and proceed ahead by clicking on “Next” and pressing the “Install” button in the next window.

Now, allow a few minutes for the installation to complete. Once the installation is completed, click the “Finish” button to close the installation wizard.

Then, it’s time.

Try starting DaVinci Resolve again!

DaVinci Resolve 18 is a powerful video editing software, loved by professionals and beginners alike. It is well known for its advanced features and tools that enable users to edit and color correct their videos with ease. However, sometimes users face issues like the «Unable to Initialize GPU» error, which can be quite frustrating. This article will explore some simple and effective solutions to fix this problem and get you back to creating stunning videos in no time.

Windows Graphics Settings

Close DaVinci Resolve and open up your Windows settings. In your system settings, click on Display. From here, scroll down and select Graphics. Alternatively, you can search for Graphics Settings to get here.

Find DaVinci Resolve Install Location

Configure which apps you allow your graphics card to support while running. Click on Browse, which will open up your File Explorer.

The default install location for DaVinci Resolve is in your main drive under Program Files > Blackmagic Design > DaVinci Resolve. Scroll down until you can find the Resolve.exe application.

If DaVinci Resolve is not installed in this location, search for DaVinci and select Open File Location for the app. In most cases, this will be the location of the DaVinci Resolve shortcut. Right-click the shortcut and select Open File Location again to get to the final install location for this app.

Change DaVinci Resolve 18 Graphics Preference

After adding the application to this list, click Options to change its Graphics preference to High performance. This will allow DaVinci Resolve to utilize your graphics card and fix the “unable to initialize GPU” error you are getting.

• This error is usually caused by outdated or incompatible GPU drivers, incorrect graphics card settings, or insufficient graphics card memory.

• If none of the solutions work, you may need to upgrade your graphics card to a more powerful and compatible one. Additionally, you can seek help from the official DaVinci Resolve community forums or contact their customer support for further assistance.

Can you clarify what the system is doing now? Is it hanging before it gets to the Project Manager page? That’s my assumption.

The AMD driver you previously had loaded is identical to my Windows system with an RX580 card. And the Windows versions are identical. So that should have worked. Hopefully the AMD driver you installed since then still works.

EDIT: Forget all that stuff below, and first try this:

In an Explorer window, go to this folder:

C:\Users\cadla\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Preferences

Make a copy of the config.dat file and call it config.dat.orig

Right click config.dat and select Edit. That should open the file in Notepad. Scroll about 3/4 of the way down the file, until you see this line:

Local.GPU.Mode = Unknown

EDIT 2: Sorry! Looking at your most recent log file, that line has gone away. If you don’t see a Local.GPU.Mode = line in your current config.dat file, then add this line at the end of the file:

Local.GPU.Mode = OpenCL

Then File — Save and File — Exit.

If the Local.GPU.Mode = Unknown IS back, for some reason, then:

Change Unknown to OpenCL

So it looks like this:

Local.GPU.Mode = OpenCL

Then do a File -Save then a File — Exit.

Launch Resolve. What happens?

If that didn’t help, THEN try all the stuff below.

You said unplugging all the USB stuff didn’t help. That’s step one of diagnosing a Resolve hang.

Step 2 is the firewall. Please remove the system from the Internet, and as a test turn off the firewall. Does that help. If not, try the following:

Step 3. Open a Powershell in Run as administrator mode. Then enter this:

netsh int ipv4 show dynamicportrange tcp

You should get what is shown in the image below:

If you see that, jump to step 4. If you don’t see that, enter this command:

netsh int ipv4 set dynamicportrange protocol=tcp startport=49152 numberofports=16384

then press enter, and then reboot the system. Now does Resolve launch?

Step 4. Enter this in the same Powershell window:

Get-NetTCPConnection | Where-Object { $_.State -eq «Listen» -and $_.LocalPort -eq 1144 } | ForEach-Object { (get-process -id $_.OwningProcess).Description }

and hit Enter. It should just return to a prompt. If not, it will report any apps using that port. Are there any? Fusion related would be OK.
