Installed Trial 14 and my GPU does not show up?

[George Dean]

Hi Don,

I had to go Options > (hold Crtl+Shift) then click on Preferences. Then go to the Internal tab. In the search box at the bottom enter GPU, change the ‘Allow GPU rendering’ value from the default of ‘FALSE’ to ‘TRUE’ then Apply and OK. Now you should have the option for GPU during MainConcept and Sony AVC rendering.

Best Regards…….George

Don’t understand why they put this option in the Internal settings!

Hi,

George, I tweaked that setting too, but it just enables the GPU option on the render template dialog.
So it makes possible to switch on GPU for rendering, if it’s disabled for example.

Hi László,

I reread the OP and I may have misunderstood what he was asking, or read to much into his post. If he is saying he no longer has the option in Preferences > Video, then as I think you point out, my suggestion will not help. I did not have that same experience when installing the trial version 14, but I am using an R9 380 card.

Best Regards……George

Hi
The opposite can happen too.
Maybe Don was exaxtly asking for what you answered.
However I have now 3 versions of Vegas installed, and they don’t hurt each other in any way. Different settings, in different directories, and in different registry hives.
If the videocard disappeared from both 13 and 14, I would rather think of some common change, for example a freshly updated incompatible driver.

Best regards

Thank You guys for the help, It turned out to in fact be the latest drive update from Nvidia does not show up in either Vegas 14 or SonyVP13 So I always save driver downloads, step back one update and now my GPU option shows up in both. Thank You for the Idea!

Hi Don,

Thank You for letting us know what the fix was, and glad you got it sorted out. I should have mentioned the driver because I also had to roll back a Nvidia drivers about 2 years ago for a GTX 460 that got cranky with an update.

Best Regards……George

Just dealt with this myself for the first time. Really weird place to put that…
