Rendering on GPU instead of CPU

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

It's not the CPU temperature, the CPU will just thermal throttle (i.e. slow down) when it overheats and that wont happen even at 90C. Shutdown occurs for CPU thermal reasons only when it has dropped to minimum speed and still exceeds I think 105C.

 

About GPU rendering, maybe this will help?

I've also heard bad things about Vegas support on GPU rendering before 15 especially with Nvidia GPUs, so at the end of the day these may help little if at all.

As the title suggests, is it possible for me to purely use my GPU for video rendering using Sony Vegas Pro 14 instead of my CPU?

 

Reason: my CPU overheats and shuts down during rendering.

 

Context: Tower position is okay, good air intake and PC is clean from dust etc. It's just my current CPU cooler is the stock AMD (wraith, i believe). CPU temps shoot up to 80-ish at the start of the render and shuts downs in less than 2 mins.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
GPU: RTX 2080
RAM: 32gb ddr4

Computer shouldn't be shutting down just because the CPU gets to 80C. That's toasty for a Ryzen chip, for sure, but not so hot for the computer to tap out.

 

Also, it's a 65w chip. The Spire should be *PLENTY* for that. Have you checked your thermal paste? Might be time for a reapplication.

I have a suspicion that it's a thermal paste issue, I've recently cleaned my PC but not checked the thermal paste since installment (mainly because I haven't been using my CPU to it's potential until now).

 

It doesn't technically shutdown, its more of freezing and never unfreezing so I had to restart.

 

After some more reading of my own, it looks like I may need to shill out for a newer Vegas then.

 

Thank you for the insight. I'll reconfigure some stuff on my end and see how it goes.
