Graphic Card Benchmark for Sony Vegas Pro 13 or 12 ?

[Ricardo Farah]

There are so many variables that could affect this and You didn’t described very well Your situation so I will assume You don’t know none of what i’m going to write.

Processors

Have You already compared Your processors?

https://ark.intel.com/pt-br/compare/80807,37147

It seems Your old one hadn’t an onboard graphics and the new one have, so You should make sure that is not a conflict of configurations with Your off board and onboard going on here.

Also I could see that Your old processor had 3 memory channels(not pretty shure about this one) and it could affect somehow depending on how much channels You were using on Your last cpu.

Also I will assume that You didn’t compared the CPU usage of both CPUs while rendering so the bottleneck could be anywhere.

Besides that as another member alread mentioned You must chose to use CUDA on the rendering options to take advantage of nvdia tecnology for rendering.

There is also HDs channels memory frequency etc……

I have and I7-4770 and i am planing to buy a GTX 750 TI. We can share experiences later on if You want.

Can someone tell me if the 750 would be an upgrade from Intel Graphics 4000 (integrated)?
I realize it doesn’t use opencl and Intel Graphics 4000 but I’m not too impressed what I have.
Is this a good deal and if not can someone suggest a better deal on a GPU in the same price range please?

Hello David,

Thank you for the eloquent and in depth explanation on the sony Vegas pro. Been using SVP on and off for 5 years with some of the exact questions your response answered.

Best regards, Glenn Marino

Thanks for the clarification… but i still have some doubts.
I have been using SVP for personal projects, using only cpu.
I am thinking of doing some video work more frequently and the decrease of render times is a must.
So, with SVP 13, with new cards (amd R9xxx or nvidia gtx 7xx or gtx 9**) is gpgpu viable?
By what i have read amd (with openCL) help in the play mode.
But are they useful in render times?
Or should i change for Premiere?

[Rui Alberto] “By what i have read amd (with openCL) help in the play mode. But are they useful in render times?”

By definition… Yes! You need to playback in order to render. So if your playback is 5 fps your render will never be faster than 5 fps. If, however, you playback is 25 fps with GPU, you just also increased your render speed by 5x! So increasing your playback rate definitely helps during render.

I think your questions was wether the encoders will use the GPU to encode the video and the answer depends on which encoder you use. They are all different and some have no GPU acceleration at all, while others work with all GPU’s, still others only work with older GPU’s (e.g., MainConcept AVC)

Thanks. I see it more clearly now.
With all the critics “against” MainConcept, i got the impression these were the only enconders.

Well… it’s the most popular one because everyone is delivering MP4 these days so it gets a lot of attention.

I just bought a Radeon HD 7950 which I assume will not work with MainConcept but I’m more concerned with timeline playback. I don’t expect a big boost over my Radeon HD 5870 but it’s the fastest card that’s supported by my 2010 Mac Pro and I wanted to upgrade before they’re not available anymore. I’m hoping Bois FX will take better advantage of the 3GB memory of the 7950 vs the 1GB memory of the 5870. We’ll see when it gets here.
