Radeon R9 290 video card and Vegas Pro 13

[Luxmark v2 is a good benchmark test for OpenCL, and verifying that your system is working well with opencl.]

[GPU-z and AMD system monitor are good tools to verify GPU utilization during timeline playback. Test Sony AVC, XDCAM, HDCAM-SR-lite, and XAVC media with effects to verify GPU acceleration in Vegas. Other workflows you will need to determine where the GPU acceleration problems are.]

Aaron I read the entire thread on open cl, I just installed an XFX AMD R9 290 on my PC2 system in place of Quadro k2000. Are you saying that after viewing the stats on the GPU-z for example that you can change settings to make the card more effective? or are these programs just to know the stats? I have seen an improvement on in VP13 for sure, but didn’t know, is it to be tweeked?

Sorry, was on assignment in Cambodia for a week.

I’m not at my Mac Pro right now so I only have my MacBook Pro laptop to test with and I’m running Vegas Pro in a VMware Fusion virtual machine with no GPU acceleration and I got a smooth 25 fps in Vegas Pro 12.0 on Good (Full) and Best (Full). Interesting is if I used Good (Auto) it dropped the frame rate to about 21 fps. What is even stranger is that the video was corrupt in Vegas Pro 13.0!

I’ll have to test again when I get back to my Mac Pro because on that I can boot Windows 7 native and really test my AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics card. But for now, it plays back smoothly in Vegas Pro 12 with no graphics card support.

Thanx. As I’ve said many times before, I do not like the P2 format…..

Anyway, how did you get the footage to run on Vegas 12?
I didn’t know that it could handle the P2 format, or did you use a plug-in ?

Thanx
