New version of Vegas 12 available…

[David Alfredo]

thanks for the heads-up, downloaded and ready to install

reading through the changes I see they fixed the thumbnails bug and added a couple of Internet streaming templates, good, but no mention of improved GPU support for the Kepler cards, oh well, as I feared they will work with Vegas Pro 13 if we are lucky and provided Nvidia let Sony use their Kepler CUDA SDK, something they still are refusing… (they want to sell all those new Quadro cards).

They weren’t gonna get in everything in this new build.

well at least it doesn’t crash now when rendering using a 6XX card, Vegas will use the GPU to somewhat accelerate previewing while ignoring it for speeding up rendering, don’t know if it was actually the 563 build or Nvidia latest drivers, so no more crashing but no GPU acceleration either. I’m sticking to my old Fermi card when “playing” with Vegas at home, not upgrading my workstation at my workplace though, you know, if it works…

I had nothing but problems with Vegas 12 on a 650 Ti card so far so I reverted back to Vegas 11 months ago. It sounds like there isn’t much benefit to the latest version if there’s still no gpu acceleration on 6 series cards though? I’m definitely in the “if it ain’t broke” camp so maybe I’ll just hang back with 11. I think my days of pre-ordering new versions of Vegas are over and I’ll adopt a wait and see approach from now on.

Thanks Mr.Steve for the information

to be honest Nvidia breaking CUDA backwards-compatibility with their 6XX cards has nothing to do with Sony, Vegas already supports a wide range of GPU for rendering acceleration. This one is up to Nvidia to fix, and they won’t, since the 6XX cards are gaming-oriented and intentionally crippled so they not compete with Quadro cards.

These Video Card makers are at times playing Games!

after some intensive testing the new Vegas 12 build coupled with the latest Nvidia drivers are indeed supporting 6XX GPUs acceleration for several video effects plugins such as GenArts’ Sapphire and native Sony video effects, also most latest versions of NewBlue plugins… so we’re getting there for 6XX cards owners, the one thing missing is encoding acceleration for mainconcept (mp4/x264) templates using CUDA…

worth noting that the latest build of NewBlue Titler Pro 2 v130145 runs quite stable and renders extremely fast on 6XX GPUs now compared to GTX 5XX series, well that’s all I can report after testing with a 660 Ti 3 GB 314.22 drivers and Vegas Pro 12 v563 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 SP1.
