Vegas 11 Render Crashing :(

[Rick Altizer]

Wow, that is a big difference. Thanks so much for your response.
So do I have to get a $700 graphics card like yours?
It would be great if I could find out what cards actually work.

[Rick Altizer] “So do I have to get a $700 graphics card like yours?”

If you’re not doing this professionally, that’s a lot of money to spend on a graphics card. I guess the solution would be to find out who is using what GeForce card and which ones seem to work. Maybe start a thread called: “Survey of GPU’s for Vegas Pro 11.0” (that should get peoples attention) and have people post what they are using and if it’s working or are they having trouble. If you see a lot of people with the same card having success, then that’s the card I would get. 😉

I get the same error with Vegas 12.
Problem: Unmanaged Exception (0xc0000005)
Fault Module: C:Windowssystem32nvopencl.dll

I bought the GTX 560 because Sony said it was compatible. Saying to ask for Sony tech support is a joke because they never respond or they say to reformat your computer and try again.

Brad, what are you trying to render? I have the 570 also. I found that it Vegas 11 was unstable when using multimonitors, or working with NewBlueFX in the same timeline as the video clips. How I stabilized it was to simply only ever use one monitor, and to do all FX editing I could on a new timeline, render it and then add the rendered footage back in. I work in primarily mxf footage off a Canon and also do some work with MOV using Canon HDSLR work.

Oddly, my work (I have been reworking some older projects) has been extremely stable since I started doing that. Depressing in that it severely limits the usefullness of Vegas “Pro”.

Probably because the problem is with your video driver and not Vegas Pro.

[Brad Miller] “I bought the GTX 560 because Sony said it was compatible.”

Have you tried updating your video drivers? The first thing I would do is update to the latest drivers on the NVIDIA site. If that doesn’t fix it, then install the latest driver from your card manufacturer because those are the drivers that they actually tested with regardless of how old they are. It may be that you just need a different version of the drivers.

The odd thing is that with an NVIDIA card, Vegas Pro should not be using OpenCL, it should be using CUDA. It’s really odd that the OpenCL driver is causing the issue. I think you just need to find the driver version that other GTX 560 owners are using successfully and stick with that.

I strongly think the problem is the voltage settings on your PC. Noticed this when overclocking my EVGA X58 with a GTX560. I can see where the system will just stop responding/rendering and the GPU drops to zero.
Once I figured out the correct settings she blazes %100 full GPU renders. Chances are you are overheating. Might be one of your bridges that may not give you temp readings.
Good luck! ~J

Hi John,

I’m working here for years with all Vegas Versions …
Working on very compelex projects today with a dual xeon 8 Core … 64 GB PC.

I always would’nt spent so much mony for a Quadro card
but I’m still not happy with my realtime Performance (Video Preview) of Vegas.

I have two NVidia GeForce GTX 780 wich works great wit Adobe Premiere, I tested …
… but I’m not a Premiere Man!

Now I think about to invest in a PNY Quadro M …

But I’m not shure, if there will be any realtime performance increase with Vegas 14.

What about your thoughts and experience.

I read you got an Quadro 4000, maybe years ago.

Will there be a performance increase with a Quadro M4000
and is there another increase expected with an M5000 ??

My questions are only about preview realtime performance, not about rendering, I can wait ?
… but I hate if Vegas stuggle when I make a simple blend/disolve/wipe in or out,
or if I work with more then two tracks Full HD.

Will it be possible to playback QHD in realtime with any Quadro without prerendering RAM-preview?

Best regards

Tobi

P.S. Thank you John for answering every Question here since years.

[Tobias von Brockdorff] “Now I think about to invest in a PNY Quadro M … But I’m not shure, if there will be any realtime performance increase with Vegas 14.”

Hi Tobi,

I don’t use Vegas Pro anymore and have no real experience with 14. I moved to the Mac and use Final Cut Pro X and it takes complete advantage of every ounce of power my Mac Pro’s GPU can deliver. I don’t worry about hardware and software incompatibilities anymore because Apple makes both my hardware and software. So I really don’t have any advice (other than buy a Mac and use FCP X) to help with your hardware dilemma.

My understanding from what I’ve read is that Vegas Pro 14 hasn’t done anything to improve GPU support and, in fact, doesn’t support CUDA with newer NVIDIA cards so a newer Quadro will probably perform worse than my Quadro 4000 did which was supported back in 2012.

If you want to get good GPU performance from Vegas Pro you should invest in an AMD GPU, not NVIDIA!

Remember Amd graphics card uses a lot more power than a Nvidia graphics card.
I got a EVGA SuperNOVA 1300W PSU, for my 2 Sapphire NITRO Radeon R9 390X – 8 GB GDDR5 graphics cards !

[Stephen Crye]

John, how long did it take to get used to the Final Cut workflow? I’ve looked at it, and it is very, very different.

If I do move to Mac – I’m thinking of it – how well does Vegas 12 run on it?

Thanks,

Steve
