I have an old HP ProLiant server running Windows 10 where I would like to install and run DaVinci Resolve. I install the latest version, 18, and see

CRITICAL_QUIT: GPU initialization failed could not initialize OpenGL

Following these tips, I download and install version 16, and I see:

DaVinci Resolve could not find any OpenCL capable GPUs.

I could find little about the graphics card. Here is a screenshot from System Information:

A previous owner tried to change the graphics card but it turned to be very difficult due to HP's safeguards.

How can I run DaVinci Resolve on this computer? Can I install a program to emulate a GPU?

Your HP Proliant server is way below the minimum system requirements for the current DaVinci Resolve.

Namely:

  • Discrete or integrated GPU of at least 2GB of VRAM.
  • GPU that supports CUDA 11 or OpenCL – and a GPU driver version that will support the GPU, either an AMD, Intel or NVIDIA.

Now compare the aforementioned requirements with the specifications of your 2007 integrated ATI ES1000:

  • OpenCL: N/A

The shared VRAM is set by the firmware (BIOS or UEFI) and even in the extremely unlikely event it could be set to the "at least 2GB of VRAM" requirement, that wouldn't make sense for a server of this class.

In conclusion, the error message GPU initialization failed could not initialize OpenGL is to be expected.
