Hi Peter,

I did not upgrade anything other than V12 build 394 to 486.
Haven’t used V12 a lot and I am slowly migating from V10 to V12 since build 486 fixed a Color Curves issue.

Filter parameters in the effects control window works flawlessly and I do get real-time live interaction.

The slowness is only observed at the preset level when I hover over the presets, click and scroll with my mouse or when I select different presets from the presets drop-down list.

I just checked the BCC Lens Flare and BCC Lens Flare Advanced and they work fine at the preset level so the problem only occurs with the BCC Lens Flare 3D.

Thanks Peter and Mike

I have 16 gigs of RAM, works great in V10 but so slow in V12, hopefullly I will get some kind of feedback from Borisfx.

Thanks for reporting Mike.

Nice improvements with driver 306.97 along with GPU ON, thanks for pointing it out.

I can open two instances of V12, but if the V12 sessions are to fx intensive, the second instance of V12 will crash. Still, this is a great step forward.

Mateusz, with NVIDIA drivers 306.23, I was getting so many crashes making V12 unusable. I reverted to driver 296.10 and V12 is much more stable, only occasionnal crashes with GPU ON, and with GPU OFF, it is very stable.

I figure they still have problems with GPU.
If I open 2 instances of V12 side by side, it will crash with GPU ON, but with GPU OFF, I can open 4 instances of V12 and it is rock solid.

Also had some V10 projects with many tracks and fx intensive along with some compositing and V12 couldn’t play them and would crash with GPU ON, but it did work fine and render fine with GPU OFF.

On my part, I can live with no GPU acceleration but just can’t live without Vegas. Overall, this is a much better start for a first release of V12 compared to V11.

Steve, I wasn’t able to replicate your generated text problem, works fine on my side.

[Robert St-onge]

Jason, what graphic driver version are you using?

[Robert St-onge]

Thanks John, but I am specifically looking for graphic cards that work well under V12 just like your Quadro 4000.

My GTS450 is ok in V11 but in V12 it just makes Vegas crash within seconds to several minutes, so there are changes under the hood in V12.

[Robert St-onge]

Could any of you please list your graphic card you are using with V12? Gathering this info might help me in fixing my problem with V12 GPU ON.

Thanks

Still running the trial and I can make V12 crash in a matter of seconds, very unstable.

So I decided to turn GPU OFF and to my surprise, V12 is much more stable, runs slower on previews, but it doesn’t crash. NBTP 2 also worked well so far and V12 has not crashed even when I had 4 instances of V12 running side by side with some fx intensive sessions. And no glitches in the preview.

I prefer stability over GPU acceleration and if this proves to be right, either my graphic card is not suited for V12 or V12 just isn’t ready for stable GPU.

It still needs further testing GPU OFF but I just couldn’t go this far with GPU ON on V12 and not having it crash. And this time, GPU seems to be the cause while with V11, I could never move on because the color curves fx settings would not show up, GPU ON or OFF. This has been fixed in V11 701 and in V12, so this issue might not have been related to GPU while I was thinking maybe my computer might of been the problem.
I did purchase V11 but never used it but if V12 proves to be stable GPU OFF, I will most likely purchase it.

I have an ASUS NVIDIA GTS 450 with driver: 306.23-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe on an i7 2600, 16 gb ram.

Thanks Peter, will be great if does work in V12.
