SLI works for Vegas or just for gamers?

[Esteban Elizondo] “what about SLI system, that allows 2 card work togehter? I would get better results? I Mean, I know that works for gamers, but, for editing with vegas… rendering time?”

I’m pretty sure that Vegas Pro does not support SLI. It will only see one graphics card.

Thanks for the info!

Vegas does “detect” both cards, but as far as my experience goes it can only utilize one card at a time.

I am running a 6990 which is identified as two separate cards.
I can only select one of them in the GPU acceleration option.
When rendering a video, only one of the cores have a significant jump in temperature(all though the unused core also increase in temp due to sharing the same cooling block as the active one).

There might be ways around this, but it does not work in SLI “out of the box”.
