Vegas 11 Render Crashing :(

[John Rofrano]

[Dane Smith] “ANY IDEAS??????”

Yup…

Fault Module: C:\\Windows\\system32\\nvopencl.dll

That’s the OpenCL graphics driver from your NVIDIA GTX 570. Turn off GPU acceleration in Options | Preferences | Video and in your render template and the problem should go away. Of course, your GTX 570 won’t be used at all. You might want to either update your graphics card driver to the latest level or down-grade it to a level that Sony recommends but it looks like that’s what’s causing the fault.

You would need to send those log files to Sony because that fault is actually within Vegas Pro 11.0 itself. It’s still worth turning of GPU acceleration and see if that makes any difference. If not, you really need to give those logs to Sony so they can see what’s going on.

The new GPU Acceleration features is whats giving Vegas 11
most of its aches and pain.

Indeed. When people were crying for GPU support I said that they should be careful what they wish for because Vegas was hardware agnostic for 9 versions and that was a good thing. Now, people are having problems because they’re buying cheap gaming cards and expecting them to work with professional applications. They don’t realize that the drivers for those cards are not tested for professional use. Yes they have OpenCL support and OpenGL support but that’s not what the manufacturer focuses on. The manufacturer worries about DirectX support for games which professional programs like Vegas Pro don’t use.

I purchased an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for $700 and I’m not having any problems with Vegas Pro 11.0 GPU support but that’s the price you have to pay for stability. If you want good hardware acceleration guess what… you have to buy good hardware! The driver support from game cards is minimal for OpenCL/OpenGL use. Sony should have had a qualification list of cards whose drivers are known to work like Adobe did. I know people got around Adobe’s list but when things didn’t work, at least they know it was because they were trying to use an unsupported card.

Gtx570 is a supported card for Vegas and for adobe. Works fine for me in CS6. Crashes in vegas 11 $ 12.
It’s the poster child for xdcam accelleration on their web site, so i bought it believing it just might be more stable too.

I ask because multicam is easier to use in Vegas, but can’t deal with crashing.

If it’s simply a matter of down or upgrading a driver,I’d do it. But I’m running the ‘correct’ version.

Then again, maybe i don’t need gpu accelleration for multicam on an i7. i’ll try it out w/o.it.

Does anybody out there know what graphics cards DO with with Vegas 11 with GPU Acceleration turned on?

I’m using GTX 560 and it DOES NOT work. Won’t even let me open the program. Stalls at “initializing GPU accelerated video processing.” I had to pull out card and use motherboard VGA.

[Rick Altizer] “Does anybody out there know what graphics cards DO with with Vegas 11 with GPU Acceleration turned on?”

Sony doesn’t specifically list the ones they have tested with and “qualified” as working. They only make this broad statement on their GPU Acceleration page:

NVIDIA

Requires a CUDA-enabled GPU and driver 270.xx or later.

• GeForce GPUs: GeForce GTX 4xx Series or higher (or GeForce GT 2xx Series or higher with driver 285.62 or later).
• Quadro GPUs: Quadro 600 or higher (or Quadro FX 1700 or higher with driver 285.62 or later).

NVIDIA recommends NVIDIA Quadro for professional applications and recommends use of the latest boards based on the Fermi architecture.

Your card definitely falls within that range but obviously it doesn’t work. I would try different drivers.

If I have an i7, 32 gigs of RAM, Windows 7 pro and an SSD – do I even need to worry about GPU processing?

[Rick Altizer] “If I have an i7, 32 gigs of RAM, Windows 7 pro and an SSD – do I even need to worry about GPU processing?”

It depends… does your computer seem fast enough for you? If yes… then you don’t need it. 😉

Here’s real world example:

I have a an Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz that has 6 cores, 12 threads, 16GB of memory. I’m guessing that’s a bit more powerful than your i7 QuadCore.

With GPU turned off, I can render 1 minute of HDV 1440×1080 to MainConcept AVC/AAC MP4 in 1:06

With GPU turned on, I can render 1 minute of HDV 1440×1080 to MainConcept AVC/AAC MP4 in 0:30 !!!

That’s a 200% improvement in render times with a 6 core CPU vs NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU… so I’d say it makes BIG difference having GPU acceleration.
