NVIDIA GeForce GTX - Except GTX 580 and earlier, specifically for MainConcept AVC GPU rendering (see below).The following GPUs/graphics cards have been known to give disappointing performance with VEGAS Pro 11-14 (of course your decision may be affected by other applications which work well with these cards): Presumably similar variants of those cards will also perform well.ġc. AMD Radeon HD6970/6870/5870 (now old but good for MainConcept AVC GPU rendering).RX 480 vs NVIDIA GTX 970 (followed by stability discussion).The following GPUs/graphics cards have been known to work well with VEGAS Pro 11-14: Graphics cards that work well for GPU acceleration of video processingĪlthough both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs support OpenCL, AMD's implementation is stronger. You will need to restart VEGAS after changing the setting.ġb. GPU acceleration of video processing is enabled or disabled here: " Options" menu > " Preferences" > " Video" > " GPU acceleration of video processing". Enabling GPU acceleration of video processing It uses it to accelerate playback of the timeline and GPU-enabled FX.ġa. GPU acceleration was first introduced in Vegas Pro 11 and has not been significantly updated since, but it can still bring significant benefits with the right graphics card. Comment from MAGIX staff about current GPU development.Any improvement in rendering speed with Vegas Pro 15?.Clearly the changes in VP15 may affect recommendations for choice of GPU and CPU. In the meantime, it remains out of date and applies to VP14 and earlier. This FAQ post will be updated to reflect these changes when their effects are better understood. For VEGAS Pro 15, the general recommendation is now to keep GPU drivers as up-to-date as possible.QSV is now an option for GPU acceleration of video processing.The MainConcept AVC/AAC encoder has been replaced with the MAGIX AVC/AAC encoder, which inherits the same functionality and adds rendering acceleration via QSV or NVIDIA NVENC ( supported NVIDIA GPUs).More efficient handling of AVC files on the timeline through Intel QSV technology.A new MAGIX AVC/AAC codec significantly accelerates encoding on machines equipped with modern NVIDIA graphics card GPU technology.A new MAGIX AVC/AAC codec significantly accelerates encoding on machines that utilize Intel® Quick Sync Video (QSV) technology.VEGAS Pro 15 introduced the following changes: However I hope it is still worth reading, and I continue to add useful GPU-related links to the bottom of the post.
