NVIDIA’s SLI

I’ve never used EVGA but most cards are just copies of the reference implementation that NVIDIA provides so I don’t think the card manufacturer matters as much as the model number.

[Thayalan Paramasawam] “2)Can NVIDIA’s SLI support Svp 12?”

No. Vegas Pro will only see one card so SLI makes no difference.

I hacked Vegas Pro 12 to use one card for previewing acceleration and something else for rendering, I believe it’s illegal to share that hack I made to the software since it’s punishable in most countries to modify the software in any way, in my country you can alter the software you paid for and own for research or private use only. I hope next version of Vegas includes native support for multiple GPUs, since 6XX series act so weird I sometimes need to switch over to the GTX 570, but the 660 Ti is much faster with NewBlue Titler Pro 2.0 and Sony AVC templates… Quadro decimates both of them at workplace though.

The hack was easy, just change a couple of pointers, basically use device X when previewing/editing and device Z when encoding. I tried to brute force Vegas to use both cards for encoding but I noticed it would send the same data to encode for both cards and crash immediately, need to split rendering jobs to send to either card and consolidate results after encoding is done, something I don’t have the time to do… for now.
