Description

NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel Modules Version

590.48.01-3

Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version). This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.
  • I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.
Operating System and Version

Bluefin (Version: 43.20260217.1)

Kernel Release

6.17.11-300.fc43.x86_64

Please confirm you are running a stable release kernel (e.g. not a -rc). We do not accept bug reports for unreleased kernels.
  • I am running on a stable kernel release.
Hardware: GPU

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

Describe the bug

When loading any project with any number of clips, if there are clips on the timeline Resolve will throw a "Your GPU memory is full" error even though it is not. Additionally, timeline playback becomes super slow and no video is shown on playback within Resolve.

Rolling back to a previous Bluefin image with the 590.48.01-1 drivers makes all these problems go away.

This happens with Resolve 20.3.2 (the latest release at the time of writing) and the previous 20.3.1 release, too.

To Reproduce
  1. With 590.48.01-3 drivers present, start DaVinci Resolve and load a project.
  2. Go to the Edit page to see the reported issues.

Research direction

Start with the reproduction steps in the issue and inspect the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz, comparing behavior between driver versions 590.48.01-3 and 590.48.01-1. Done means DaVinci Resolve no longer reports false GPU memory exhaustion and timeline playback displays video at normal speed with the newer driver.
