Davinci Resolve issues

Issues & Assistance
1

Davinci resolve keeps telling me my GPU memory is full. I have rtx 3050ti laptop and I have never had this problem in any other distro I have tried except cachyos. It even used to work in windows 11. I tried running resolve with prime but nothing changes. I changed GPU mode from cuda to opencl and now I can’t even play videos or hear audio at all. I don’t know what the problem is and I can’t even find anything helpful online

Not sure if this will help or not
DaVinci Resolve 19 - Your GPU memory is full

I ran into this when DR updated to 19, and this helped me on my end.

  • Reduce Timeline Resolution : Lowering the timeline resolution can reduce the amount of VRAM used by DaVinci Resolve. You can do this by going to Project Settings > Master Settings > Timeline Resolution and selecting a lower resolution like 1920 x 1080 HD.

uh oh, memory leak, my worst enemy. I don’t think there’s even a fix that so I am guess I am just gonna use something else. Thank you, this helped me figure out the problem at least

I tried to set it as low as possible but it literally doesn’t do anything lmao

Hey there, I also have this issue and I’ve tried these solutions and they didn’t work. I’m using an RTX 2050 laptop and when switching to CachyOS this happened.
