Graphics card recommended for sony vegas

[Philippe Orlando]

Actually I might be able to run Resolve with an AMD card. I’m looking into this.

Hello John,
I have VPRO 12,If I was not too fussed as to the gains in rendering times would the nvidia card be as good ?

I just want to do a straight swap and still have everything else continue to work.

The card I have (Quadro FX 580) is not open cl1.1 “or higher” I have to upgrade in order to have my mxf files read in Sony Catalyst Browse, it reads other formats but not my Canon MXF Files unless I re render them as Sony MXF files in VPRO12.
If I do that they are read by Catalyst.

Thank you .

An NVIDIA card would be fine as long as it meets the minimum specs for Vegas Pro. It’s just that AMD cards perform better but I used an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for many years with Vegas Pro.

Hi guys, I have been reading all your comments here and would really like if someone can tell me is it better solution to buy Asus STRIX-R7370-DC2OC-4GD5 (4GB) or Sapphire AMD R9 270X as have same price on my market…Need it for Sony Vegas video editing. Please, can someone let me know! Thanks!

The Sapphire AMD R9 270X has a faster clock and more stream processors so it is the better of the two cards.

Many thanks John, your words are always appreciated! AMD R9 270X it is! Have been reading allot on the forum about monitors, unfortunately Asus you prefer is too expensive here, so I wonder which one would be best to choose from: DELL U2412M, P2416D, or U2415? Thanks much!

The U2412M and U2415 are both 1920×1200 16:10 monitors that are pretty even in specs. I would go with U2415 because it looks like it has a little better panel and also supports HDMI which the U2412M does not. The P2416D is a 2560 x 1440 16:9 monitor but it doesn’t use an IPS panel so I would not buy it. Out of those three I would recommend the DELL U2415.

It took me forever to find this out. but SVP can use any nvidia card, however to fully use the Cuda Cores for rendering the program will only recognize the cuda cores up to the gtx 590 and below . I went to the 700 series and it used the card to display the video, but it could not use the cuda cores. after searching online for awhile, I found out that nvidia changed the way it designed and programmed their cards after the 500 series. which completely messes over everyone who thinks buying a bigger better nvidia card with more cuda cores will help in there rendering.
I’m using the gtx 590 but its a dual cpu so I might go down to the gtx 580.
