  • Sony Vegas preview better with certain video card?

    Posted by Jono Grant on August 20, 2019 at 3:07 am

    Hi there, I’m building a new PC and wondered about the video card.
    If I have a Vegas session going in my current machine, with a few tracks and video effects etc. I’m pretty much never able to see a full quality preview in the preview window. I have to set it to a very low setting like good/half or even draft!

    Would a better graphics card help with that or is that paower related to other computer components?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jono! What card have you got now? And generally what Media do you use? This will give us an idea what you’re used to getting the Preview FPS presently and then what you could be looking at. Would that help?

    Also do look at the signatures of COW members to get an idea. Have a look at my signature. I’ve had this built for me and I’m truly happy with it.
