  • Upgrading to Vegas 10 with an ATI card

    Posted by Mark Nacovitch on May 30, 2011 at 2:38 pm

    I have Vegas 9, i7 920 2.67 ghz with an ATI Radeon HD 5800 card, and have had no problems at all. I am reading that I should NOT upgrade to 10, because I have an ATI video card. Is that true?

    I have no idea where you read that.
    Sony added ATI support in Pro 10.0d so I’d take that “advice” with a large grain of salt.
    See the Pro 10.0d Readme for the truth.

    Yea, that simply isn’t true. In fact, it wasn’t true before Sony added OpenCL support for ATI cards. You could always use ATI cards with Vegas. Now you even get accelerated AVC rendering with ATI cards in Vegas Pro 10d as Mike said.

    John, do you know if you can run two different cards in a desktop successfully? I bought a newer Dell in January, came with a 1GB ATI card, and I replaced it with a nVidea. Wondering if I’m going to blue screen trying to use two different drivers on this?

    That would be my concern as well. I would stick with one card manufacturer just so that you only need one set of drivers but in theory it should work with two.
