  • Best graphics cards for GPU assisted mp4 rendering

    Posted by Larry Brewer on July 2, 2019 at 3:43 pm

    I’m putting out 40, 1 hr presentations for YouTube. I’m rendering to mp4, 10Mbs.
    What’s the latest, best recommendation for accelerating my renders?
    Would like to spend under $500. Thanks! Larry Brewer

    I use an i7700 4.2 Ghz with 32 gig ram and an AMD480 8 Gig. This sounds like 1080P at a low bit rate.

    I don’t know how much memory your GPU has, but I think right off the bat a second fast SSD to render to would be the one thing I’d get. If you have less than 4 Gig on your GPU that also might help.

    A fairly detailed comparison of various GPU’s (See MAGIX VEGAS section therein) I had seen, according to which Maybe RX580 could be the sweetspot?

    I had found a similar list of recommended GPUs a few days before your post and ended up buying an ADM Radeon RX 590. Awesome results, render speed increased by 3-4x, rendering to mp4 using the Vegas setting “Internet HD 11080p 29.87 (AMD VCE)” MAGIX HEVC/AAC.MP4.

    My render speed went from half realtime to 2x realtime and CPU dropped from 99% all cores to 60%.

    After using Vegas pro for over 15 yrs this is the first hardware, Vegas version (16) and render setting, combination that has used GPU acceleration that actually worked (without crashing).

    I couldn’t be happier.
