Survey of GPU’s for Vegas Pro 11.0

[Steve Rhoden]

“Please let me know what graphics card you are using and if it works with Sony’s GPU acceleration.”

I’m using an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 with Vegas Prop 11.0 (Build 683) 64-bit with the 305.93 Quadro 64-bit drivers on Windows 7 64-bit and it works fine. In fact, it’s creaming fast and the GPU acceleration increased my renders from HDV to AVC/H.264 by 200%!!! 🙂

I think it’s important for people to also include their driver version and OS version with the GPU version because it might make the difference between working and not working.

Let me start a template for others to follow:

GPU: NVIDIA Quadro 4000
Drivers: 305.93
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Status: Working

This is going to be a very useful thread. 😉

Vegas 12 will soon be here Rick, for you to run it
through its paces in trial, before you purchase.

[Rick Altizer] “Have you been working with the Beta?”

If anyone was… they probably couldn’t tell you because most Non Disclosure Agreements include not disclosing that you are a beta tester. Even if you did disclose that you were a beta tester, it would probably be strictly forbidden to talk about anything that isn’t already publicly available from Sony. That’s what “non-disclosure” means. The fact that there is a beta is public knowledge. How Vegas Pro 12.0 is performing in that beta is not.

From some of the comments I’ve read here about people using the beta, they obviously either didn’t read the NDA or Sony didn’t stipulate that you couldn’t disclose that you were a beta tester. In either case, I can’t imagine they are allowed to share their experience during the beta and if they did would most probably not be asked to participate in a beta again from Sony because they violated the NDA. But I wouldn’t know because if I did know I couldn’t say so this is just speculation on my part. 😉

John,

I respectfully disagree. I would not want to alienate you to any degree over an issue such as this.

However, I have read the agreement. Since your last post, I have re-read the agreement. Sony does not stipulate that you are not allowed to disclose that you are a beta tester. The confidentiality agreement covers specifics about software design, functionality, method of implementation and anything not considered public knowledge. Any general comments about new or improved features previously made public by Sony Creative Software is not restricted. I have not said anything to anyone that is not on their coming soon page. https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro12cs

I believe that any discussion of ‘failures’ would be counter productive because beta testing is all about hunting down short comings of any nature.

I believe you if you say so. Perhaps because it’s a public beta it is OK to discuss that you are a beta tester. I have been on private betas that do not allow you to acknowledge that you are a beta tester but I guess that makes sense because you’re not supposed to reveal that the product is even in beta testing. So now that I think about it, since Sony has revealed that Vegas Pro 12.0 is in beta, it makes sense that it’s OK to say if you are testing but still not OK to comment on features that haven’t been discussed publicly by Sony.

[Jeff Schroeder] “I believe that any discussion of ‘failures’ would be counter productive because beta testing is all about hunting down short comings of any nature.”

Agreed. Betas are were you expect to find bugs.
