Like the OP, I also can not get it to go higher than 3Mbps. I’m clearly overlooking something, but to the best of my knowledge, I’ve looked everywhere to change this.

Wanted to update.

I just moved from Vegas 10 to Vegas 11. Wow, what a difference. Now Vegas will see the GPU and my render times just got cut in 1/2.

Not to sound like a Sony salesman but if you’re still on Vegas 10 and using GPU, you need to upgrade to 11.

I just installed a GTX 570 and am very disappointed as well. My ATI Radeon 5570 seems to be faster with every test I run EXCEPT basic preview rendering in Vegas. The GTX plays the previews with no problems regardless of the effect or transition.

For rendering with the Sony mp4 option in Vegas 10, I can’t get it to even recognize GPU processing. However, after some fiddling it is now showing a 2% GPU usage and a slightly faster render, but Vegas still doesn’t officially recognize the GPU.

I’m in Asia and had to import the card (which is silly because they make them here) which means I had to pay a lot more for it (about $100 more). Looks like a waste of money. So bummed.

James,
I just did this on my GTX 570 (the hack you posted) and though it’s not doing much, it is showing a 2% GPU usage as a render a mp4 file. Prior to your hack, it showed zero.

I have a 1 minute 1280×720 clip that I’m testing. I added some basic color correction to it, and running that through the Sony mp4 encode.

Before adding Vegas to the 3D settings, it was rending the clip at 5:19 and showing 0% GPU usage. Now it’s rendering the same clip at 4:10 showing 2% GPU usage.

The math doesn’t add up for me but it’s rendering a little faster.

I’ll also note that Vegas does not recognize CUDA regardless of my settings. But I did tell it to Render Using GPU If Available” even though it won’t detect the card in the system tab.

I just bought this card today and have been very disappointed with the rendering times in Vegas 10. I also have a GeForce9600M GT running in a Mac, on bootcap / XP, and it renders faster in Vegas than this new card. The ATI card I took out was faster too (by about 30 seconds per 1 minute of rendering time). Very disappointing. I feel like something isn’t working right somewhere. I’ve cleaned out all the old drivers, added new Nvidia, you name it. Nothing is helping.
