  • why the lower cpu usage?

    Posted by Laszlo Kovacs on October 6, 2005 at 4:54 am

    Hi,

    I looked at task manager the first time since
    I began to use my new machine.
    (Asus P4P800E-deluxe, P4 3GHz, 1 GB Dual DDR (2*512M)).

    While rendering, cpu usage is between 53..61%.
    Why not 100%?
    Yes, it’s about HT, and Vegas processor affinity
    is checked to both processor, and it really uses
    both, but not at 100%.
    That means, vegas does not use the whole potential
    of my machine.
    Is this normal, or do I have to tweak something?

    TIA,

    It IS normal for Vegas 5, but Vegas 6 should be right up there in the 90s.

    Sure, I forgot to mention it’s about Vegas 5.
    Thanks Gary!

    Gary,

    Does that mean Vegas 6 will render faster than 5 on the same computer?

    Without tricking Vegas 5 into using more of the CPU (two projects rendering at once or newtork render with two nodes), yes, Vegas 6 makes better use of the availabloe CPU power and renders faster.

    So how can one trick an older computer to render faster using Vegas 5?

    An older computer has not enough power to
    render faster.
    So there’s no need to trick.

    Having V5 doesn’t necessarily mean you have an older computer…just an “older” version 🙂

    oops…you were referring to “his” computer… 🙂
