GPU for Sony Vegas

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

 

I have a GTX 980 and also some GTX 760's from an old rig. It appears from reading some of the video forums that the programme does not use much GPU power (I don't have the software yet, new build on the way) and they are quoting old Nvidia cards as recommended. It would make sense to use either of my existing cards, however, it appears that they may not be compatible. Vegas seems to be better suited for AMD so I am wondering if I will need to buy another card. Clearly, Quadro/Tesla is the best option but they cost more than my rig.

 

I have just watched Linus complete part 2 of the 'Room Water Cooling' and he seems to be using GTX Titan Blacks and on one rig 2 x Titans and a Quadro (expensive!). I am trying to look at these requirements before building the new system as I have never done editing on a PC before.

 

Thanks for the comments.

Well Adobe Premiere prefers Nvidia cards so use your GTX980 - use CUDA (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1035402)

I have been reading about the system requirements for Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas and both are making reference to old models for GPU compatibility. If you are already using either of these programmes can you confirm which GPU you are using and say if there are any issues.

My friend runs it on some sort of 2 year old i3 laptop and it works.. but very slow.

Are you looking for something that renders quickly or just works?
