Misu Cucu

I discovered that my laptop has one Intel integrated graphics card and a dedicated nvidia one. bypassing the integrated graphics is not an option but I found that I can set vegas to always use the nvidia card through the nvidia setup menu.
as a result the video preview is much smoother, with a shorter freeze, the frame rate drop is a lot smaller and it does not slow down when the ram is filled. the problem still exists but after previewing once it replays fine, as the frames are stored. -
that might be the case but the ram usage increases when I allow it to be used (maybe preview is stored by default). either way the preview is not smooth, as it is supposed to be. adding a filter does not overload the cpu, as I keep an eye on the performance. it never exceeds 30% in preview.
it makes little difference what preview settings I use.
could it be the case that I need another codec?
I suppose I should give up and switch to another nle system.
best,

hello.
I mean preferences/video tab/ Dynamic RAM preview max: I can type anything from 0 to 7073MB. I tried both 0 and 4-5000mb. I can watch the ram filling in Windows Task Manger/ Performance tab. I also see the cpu usage and it is using 8 threads with 20% maximum. when rendering something the result is quite good (avchd 1080p25 to xdcam hd 422 takes less then real time) and the cpu usage peaks above 90%, with all 8 threads in use.
I also tried to preview an avchd clip with a color curves filter applied and the frame rate keeps stumbling between 25 and 16fps.
thank you for your help.

thank you.
this helped.
I did turn off the antivirus and the internet browser.
the result is fps drops only to 20-22.
with the dynamic ram set to 5gb it works fine until the ram is full and then slows down. with dynamic ram turned to 0 it keeps the pace.
still, I have the hiccups all the time, for about a second at every shot change. it looks like the initial shot freezes for a second at the end and the next shot stumbles.
turning off the gpu seems to do good.
I hoped the hyper-threaded i7 2670QM cpu would be enough to have a good edit experience; the task manager shows me 15-20% cpu usage so it is enough.
